It all depends on the way the directory structure is organized at the site. Nobody managing such a site, God love 'im, is under any obligation to arrange things so that the URLs pointing to various items will appeal to the aesthetic sensibilities of the lucky people that have access to cool and useful stuff for free there. Admittedly, the organization of some sites is often ambiguous, but what a tiny little inconvenience that is. Get used to it. Once you get some practice navigating through a few sites you'll get a feel for it and you probably won't complain anymore. --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- Greg Fall [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~gmfall -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
