directory vs index.htm

[unni]

When i created my site few years back with frontpage i used index.htm for all my internal links to see the pages propery in local web.

So now all my internal links points like a.com/index.htm, a.com/dir1/index.htm etc

But when i submitted to other sites i used only the directory names so all my incoming links like a.com/, a.com/dir1/

I dont see any duplicate entries in google site:

Do i have to change all my internal links to the directory style? or can i leave it like this?

internal links are just that ... internal. a "/" is server interpreted. but if I remember correctly ... even frontpage uses the actual file name in linking by default. take a look at your actual link tag.
