b-trees, regardless of their efficiency, still assign each dir/file INode an identifying number. This number, obviously, can only get so large in the context of one b-tree object (i.e., a directory). In spite of this mental exercise, I do *NOT* miss my Data Structures &

Algorithms class. :) Really? That along with distributed computing, and parallel computing were my favourites... and here I am programming for the Web... I guess it's distributed ;) Cheers, Rob.

Todd and Rob: I understand. But, I'm more inclined to agree with Rob, I actually *DO* miss Algorithms and such. There are great minds out there and it's nice to be able to touch their genius. As for favorites, I liked digital filters, FFT, ray theory, computed surfaces, and all versions of AI. I even developed an algorithm to explain why migrating birds fly in a V formation. Some exciting Geek stuff. But here I sit programming the web and following a client's instructions "I don't like that 'Buy Button' in blue, make it red." I feel like a 45 that's being used to swat flies. But hey, we all can't be born rich and most of us have to work for a living. At least I have work. :-) Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
