I really like this idea (I had the same idea a while ago so I'm biased <g>). The sections need to be listed somewhere, but it would be pretty cool to have netscape in web/browsers web/editors news/readers mail/readers I think we should still use a hierarchal FTP layout though - putting 1000's of files in one directory is slow, if nothing. (web/readers isn't common terminology incase you were wondering). Adrian email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.poboxes.com/adrian.bridgett Windows NT - Unix in beta-testing.
