Mladen,
Tell us how you REALLLLY feel.
 Get another cup of coffee... that should help keep you on top of
things for a while. 
We have to get the GroupWise mail for Linux and then Bill Gates can no
longer be on my desktop....
RedHat AS 2.1 upgrade 3 has a KONQUERER browser also.. You can emulate
ie4 - 5.5 if you care to.

I know, I'm just being facetious. The point that was trying to 
make is about an OS and the quasi-OS, the latter having pathnames
like described in the original post. To make it abundantly clear,
I hate  @#$%! MS-Windows because I don't have nice things like
crontab, I have problems with the perl DBI  and MIME::Lite
and I have to be vewy, vewy careful, just like Elmer Fudd so 
that my PC doesn't catch a virus. Today I discovered that my
IE 6 doesn't work with Java 1.4.2. The solution is called 
"Mozilla 1.6". So, at the moment, I'm a little bit peeved and 
annoyed with  MS-Windows. Give me an hour, it will pass.
Where do you want to go today?
