Yes - support, I do not argue against that. But I argue against an attribute space. This xterm.icon was xterm.icons - with both large and small icons. And these icons have copyrights. Etc. There is just an arbitrary tree below this xterm filesystem object. The files below are in no way different from the files above. Unix says: everything is a file. Now we get: everything is a directory. And some directories have a file attached. Andries
