Allie, Dates are not important. Your browser will automatically record the download date on the zip, so why add duplicate information? If I was hunting for a red fractal dragon texture, would I remember that I'd downloaded it on August 17th 2000? Quite unlikely! Your memory might be better than mine, but even so, I suspect that the mental priority list would be dragon, red, texture... and possibly the maker. :) I was quite comfortable with packing a lot of concise information in the DOS 8.3 format, so a Mac with 31 characters seems like luxury. Even so, I still abbreviate a lot... and limit the information to enough for me to spot the file upon a scan. If I was relying upon a catalog sorter, I probably wouldn't abbreviate as much (or I'd be more consistent about it!). Carolly
