[Cuis] Wrapper for file access in different Smalltalk dialects

[Masashi UMEZAWA]

Hi Hirzel-san,

Sorry for the slow reply. I missed the mail...

FileMan was originally written for Squeak. First release was July 2006
on SqueakMap.
http://map.squeak.org/package/f9917683-25da-4a6c-a013-b36527a100c1

My attempt was to wrap FileStream and Directory's scattered interfaces
with clean OO ones.

After that, FileSystems appeared. It is a more drastic rewrite of the
File-IO related classes. So it is not a wrapper.

Nowadays I'm using FileMan for portability. It is ported to Squeak,
Pharo, and VW. It wraps dialect specific File-IO classes with the same
interfaces.

Best regards,
