2.2.1.1)  Addressing Format

An address in the dii file format can be the name of another dii file:
   filename.dii
   http://kascade.kde.org/dir/filename.dii
   directory/filename.dii
   ../../filename.dii
   /mnt/c/filename.dii
Or an address can point to a category in the same or another dii file:
   filename.dii/subcat1/subcat2
   http://kascade.kde.org/dir/filename.dii/a/b/c
   /subcat1/subcat2
   .././../somesubcat/somesubcatsubcat
The denotations of subcategory names are case-insensitive and may be partial (in case of ambiguities, the first match counts.) This means that the following example might very well contain two addresses that point to the same category:
   filename.dii/SUBcat1/Subcat2
   filename.dii/sub/sub
References of the 'simple' type (see section 2.2.2.1) can additionally point to html-files, ftp-addresses, and to many other types of addresses. In the preferences of a dii file browser it is possible to specify what the browser should do with each such type of address. For instance it could be configured there that http addresses should be sent to a specific web browser, ftp addresses to some ftp client and .mp3 addresses to a specific mp3-player.
