From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
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.
