Isn't it good practice to adhere to the naming conventions of the system to which a program is ported to? (even if 100 of them do it one way and 1 does it another)Well, the problem is that (in special if you include the ATAPI tape drives) Linux likes to enforce inapropriate naming conventions.
But making up a new naming scheme which you happen to consider more appropriate doesn't sound to me like a good solution. Not even if you have good reasons for your likes/dislikes. If I ported some Linux program to Windows I would not ask the user if they wanted to save to /dev/hda5, or /mnt/c_drive because I consider C: bad naming. --Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com -
