It wouldn't break on windoze because "file.html" still exists. He just wants a different naming schema for the newer copies. There would be no links to "file.html.1" or "file 1.html" for that matter, so it really doesn't matter which way you rename it.
Although if there is a file called "file 1.html" and you downloaded it again, using your NEW schema, it would become "file 11.html", which would be somewhat confusing :) Ranjit Sandhu 703.803.1755 SRA -----Original Message----- From: Steven M.

I can see how that might annoy a Windows user, but it would probably be a terrible idea to change the file name as you suggest, because it would break any HTML links to "file.html" which might appear in any other file. If you don't like the ".nnn" suffix, then you'll need to clean it up later, or else don't download the same file twice into the same directory. (Or you could use VMS, where file version numbers are a natural part of the file system, so the ".nnn" suffix is not needed, and this problem does not arise.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
