That is odd, this must be an old patch, as I'm using this very
often, and it works. I'll check home, I've probably fixed this
long ago.

I'll check at home to see if I've added it, but I doubt, since
it was something that wasn't intended to get out. If not, I'll
add it to grabber.txt.

Nested datafiles (IIRC).

Which reminds me, I also have a patch to give dat a list of
properties to not strip (in addition to the list of internal
datafile properties (NAME, DATE, etc).
it goes like this:
dat -s-=PROP -s-=MYPR
Are you interested ?
