Keith, I think it had something to do with a shop where a gentleman, who was rather course in his speach, was working and asked his assistant to had him a file. His assistant handed him the wrong file and he said..."no...that bastard over there." Ever since then that type of file became known as a BASTARD file.<GRIN> Sorry I couldn't resist. I think Ron Nossaman is correct in his explanation. kam544@flash.net wrote: > Dear Pianotech, > > Today I wondered how a file became known as a "bastard" file.
