Yes, but you might be interested in (1) tags from df itself, or (2) tags from libraries df uses (as in "hm.. where was this again.. was it in libutil, or plain libc.. and which subdir of libc.."). (1) is easily fixed by running your favorite tag-creating tool inside the directory you're currently browsing.. how about (2) though? G'luck, Peter -- I am the thought you are now thinking.
