It's true, and we prefer to use the term "deep yogurt" around here ;-)

BTW - from Instant Information, here's a snippet that will confirm it:


MPE and HFS Naming Equivalences

When an MPE name component is a single @ wildcard, the @ will be "folded" to
include all MPE and HFS named files at that level and below. To specifiy only
MPE-named files, use ?@ instead.

MPE wildcards are not expanded in filestoexclude. This means that @[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask]@.@
is NOT an empty fileset. It contains all of the HFS named files on the system.

A fileset may be entered in any of the following formats and may use wildcard
characters. Equivalent MPE and HFS formats are grouped together as follows.

 file.group.acct/ACCT/ GROUP/FILE '
One particular file in one particular group in one particular account.

 file.group/LOGON- ACCT/GROUP/ FILE
One particular file in one particular group in the logon account.

 file  ./FILE
One particular file in the logon group and account.

 @.group.acct  /ACCT/GROUP/
All files (MPE and HFS) in one particular group in one particular account.

 [log in to unmask]
All MPE name files in one particular group in one particular account.

 @.group/LOGON- ACCT/GROUP/
All the files (MPE and HFS) in one particular group in the logon account.

 [log in to unmask]
All MPE named files in one particular group in the logon account.

 @[log in to unmask]  /ACCT/
All the files (MPE and HFS) in all the groups in one particular account, plus
all the files and directories under the specified account.

 [log in to unmask]
Any MPE file named thisisit in all groups in one particular account.

 [log in to unmask]@.acct
All MPE named files in all the groups in one particular account.

  @
All (MPE and HFS) files in the CWD. This is the default for everyone,
regardless of permissions.

 @.@
All (MPE and HFS) files in the logon account.

 @[log in to unmask]@
All the files and directories (MPE and HFS) on the system.

 [log in to unmask]@.@
All MPE named files on the system.
