These are used by the virtual filesystem to store file names or file attributes that can't be represented in the host filesystem. For example, you can't have a file called '.' in Unix, but you can in AmigaOS (extreme example). They're also used to store things like the 'Pure' attribute on files. Cheers, Rich
