What about a compatible change to the file format: the last 1024 bytes are either undefined, or, if a certain marker is present, an executable commandline? (I was going to say one standard sector, then I thought of how quickly i18n filenames add up.) This is metadata, I have a feeling that if we think about it there will be quite a lot of other metadata we'd like to store with the image. > with some kind of time stamp to correlate the data from the command > line and the last updated time of the primary image file. If there have to be separate files I'd prefer a weak hash to timestamps to avoid the common problems with unexpected drift and no way to calculate which changed and why. -- Dan Shearer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
