Re: Directory listings and path names

It looks interesting - although my inspection of it was rather cursory. It
seems to center on Windows/Unix which, of course, covers a lot of turf. I'm
wondering how well it would fit with more niche-type OS's and/or possible
future developments in the field. (Would it fit well with MacOS, for
example - or manipulating URLs/URIs?)

While a positive thing, it may need some broadening of scope. You get more
from an OS than just directories and files & it would be nice to have a
common way of getting at some of those services. Like I said, not everything
could be standard because there are features that may or may not be
supported, so maybe provisions for OS specific packages would still be in
order.

I could come up with a laundry list.... :-)
