You still need to maintain/update the relations then just like with two files. (or maybe I have a completely wrong perception of the term sections) I think we mean the same thing by section. If they're in the same file, a bug in GPD could get them skewed, but very few external events or conditions can. Think of it like a record in a database. You COULD forget to update a field, but in general if you update everything in one statement, you can be confident you won't only get only half of it on disk. (I'm ignoring transactions.) My thinking is badly colored by a recent bug in GPD where, if I remember correctly, it would write a 0-length gpd.xml. Getting all of your nodes dumped in a heap in the corner of the "room" (canvas) was just plain rude! -Ed View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4044427#...
