The origin of this particular point was Chris saying that he thought single directory layouts worked for deployment on all platforms. I suggested that a professional Windows server administrator wouldn't like things in one directory. My point is that, as with Unix, software deployed on Windows separates configuration from logging, from software and so on. A normal windows application doesn't keep everything in one directory as we do on Windows. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
