I meant same in the filesystem. Sorry I didn't specify that earlier. My

I thought that was the case also, but looking through the latest 2.0-based
MILO source, I can only find that it checks the magic number of the file
first and not the name.

Hmmmm...that's not a bad idea. Looking at MILO, it's pretty extendible,
but definitely convoluted :(

I'm looking into getting it to compile now. It's brutal and so far
unsuccessful :( After I can get it going, then we can start playing with
it.
