Minutiae again! I can't find any occurrences of long and short minutiae - does anyone know the technical term in English? Thanks :-)

4 long minutiae files + 4 short minutiae files
the long and short seem to refer to the files and not the minutiae so I wouldn't worry about the number of occurences.

Oh dear - missed that! Yes your right they do refer to minutiae.
What is peculiar is that minutiae are points, from what I understood, so how can they be long or short?
Maybe it refers to minutiae data (feminine in French).

Comment: "Thanks Miranda, I liked your answer and don't understand the long or short bit either - I think perhaps it did refer to the data (still not sure!) - but this is definitely right in English :-)"
