:  -- Eric  elayton@zapotec.math.byu.edu asks...

: What is the .fastdir file that I find in some directories?  
: What does it do, how does it do it, and 
: how is such a .fastdir created?

the fastdir contains a record of all the 'stuff' on disk/hd ect..
ie the 'dir', it keeps this record handy for the computer and other 
progs ie the 'fast' ... we get fastdir

as for it doing something it just sits there and gets read and written to 
by the system.

				there's a bit on it,
