What he says, but using different words: It seems that some people come to asdf with the preconception that a component name is a pathname. This is not the case. The pathname of a component is notionally independent of the component name, but if left unset (as is the normal way of working) it is defaulted according to certain rules which involve the component name and do the probably obvious thing. -dan -- http://web.metacircles.com/ - Open Source software development and support
