Another idea: Is the .index file really technically necessary? It looks like always read and regenerated (and rewritten). Why not generate it on the fly, keeping it in memory and eliminate .index files? They are basically file lists of the directories, why not just reading the directory contents directly? This would also prevent the umask problem. bye, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
