thicket
Multiple {files} output from some operation.
The term has been heard in use at {Microsoft} to describe the
set of {files} output when {Microsoft Word} does "Save As a
{Web} Page" or "Save as {HTML}". The process can result in a
main {XML} or {HTML} {file}, a {graphic} {file} for each
{image} in the original, a {CSS} {file}, etc.
This can be an issue as {XML} can be used as the default
format in {Office 2000}, and {document management systems}
can't yet cope with the relationship between the {files} in a
thicket when checking in and out.
