Wouldn't it be better to put those that belong together in one category in one subdirectory, then those that belong together in another category in a second subdirectory, and so on until they are all sorted and stored with others that they belong with? And any that are left over can be sorted by date, and stored a year at a time(or whatever period suits you) in their own subdirectories.

But in life, things don't usually work that way. If I overload the power outlets in my house, the breaker will cut off the power. If I drive faster than is safe on a road, I may crash my car. So it is necessary in most things that the user should be aware of the limits and try not to exceed them. . ,-./\ from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia . / \ "Queen City of The South" 34:55 S 138:36 E . \_,-*_/ . v homepage http://users.tpg.com.au/gmone/index.htm Arachne at FreeLists -- Arachne, The Web Browser/Suite for DOS and Linux --
