However if the headers continued to stay identical I'd probably think 5 years from now that was not the most efficient design. And I might end up with using symlinks to avoid duplicate data warning. So I think it is good thing we are having this conversation. :-) If your take was "Yes, they are identical /now/ but probably will not stay that way" a split right now avoids later pain. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
