Thanks. Actually, I was a bit confused about the subject. I thought that 
the file name was stored in the inode and that a directory was a list of 
inodes. But a simple test reveals that I'm wrong and the inode doesn't 
have the file name an a directory is a list of (file name, inode) pairs.

Thanks.

Daniel.
