I'll go a step further: how about an application that sits around watching the disk usage, then automatically updates specified groups when certain types of files are created or deleted? So, for instance, all /Bob/*.doc files would be put in the DOCS group as they are created. This would be much easier then messing around with the much hated file manager every time you create a file. So...any bored windows programmers out there? Or is this sitting in CICA and I haven't noticed? Thanks in advance...James Harold harold@lpf.umd.edu
