I think the "obvious" solution out is to leave it at the level where it is. But I always disliked the length of that name, and given that it is quite likely to spawn "daughters", my prefered name would be csm.hyca (or csm.hype, maybe :-) and, yes, I considered csm.hyca.misc, but I'd like to wait for that until csm.hyca.xcmd and csm.hyca.user gets created. (another argument against csm.hype is that it would then result in csm.hype.misc, csm.hype.user and csm.hype.prog - and what kind of ideas would that give to people !! :-) hmmm, csm.hype.2pt0... anyway, thanks for starting this thread, Chuq .... -- --------------------------> please send REPLIES to <------------------------ INTERNET: werner@cs.utexas.edu or: werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu (Internet # 128.83.144.1) UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!werner
