Although I do not agree with atomic delete, I do need to point out something here (to be fair). You have introduced an extra requirement -- simultaneous access through different protocols. From a WebDAV standpoint, NTFS and FAT can implement an atomic delete. If you partially delete a tree, there is nothing requiring you to move it back: from the client's standpoint, you *have* deleted the resources. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
