Re: Directory(parent) Structure

Why? Does this look weird to you? ../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../. ./../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../.. /../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../please/ju st/kill/me.ace Yeah ok, sometimes I go too far with nested folders. But I figure if anyone wants to go through 30 folders, unace, unrar, ungzp, untar, then run a self-extracting zip file that requires a password, then decrypt a 64 bit blowfish encryption file, then they deserve any information they'd like. Including myself. Or maybe I just like abusing nested technology. Go figure. Useful note: . = current directory. Alright, that wasn't that useful. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
