Please assume that I've already thought of and rejected this entire category of hacks. You perl fans out there needn't bother sending me any magic scripts. I say again: the problem this mass renaming would address is (a) not very important and (b) solvable by other means. Renaming all these files would be a departure from the other BSDs and from 25+ years of established convention in the kernel. I wouldn't mind it if there were ample justification, but I certainly haven't seen that in this discussion. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
