            <br>
            This is the plan (if everybody agrees)<br>
            - Make FileMan part of the Cuis base image.<br>
            - Convert all code in the base image and core packages to
            use FileMan instead of FileDirectory and DirectoryEntry.<br>
            - Remove FileDirectory and DirectoryEntry to <a
              moz-do-not-send="true"
              href="http://SqueakCompatibility.pck.st" target="_blank">SqueakCompatibility.pck.st</a>,
            and discourage its use.<br>
            <br>
            This might take some time, and would be done in incremental
            steps. But I'd start soonish.<br>
            <br>
            Cheers,<br>

                    Hi all,<br>
                    <br>
                    I<br>
                    think it is nice if FileMan is on the core package
                    repository.<br>
                    <br>
                    FileMan for<br>
                    Cuis (and Squeak) has minimum dependencies to the
                    existing<br>
                    FileDirectory and<br>
                    DirectoryEntry. FileMan selectively uses a few<br>
                    methods of them.<br>
                    <br>
                    So we<br>
                    can gradually adopt FileMan interfaces and trim the<br>
                    FileDirectory and<br>
                    DirectoryEntry's non-intuitive methods.<br>
                    <br>
                    Another way of cleaning-up the<br>
                    file-related classes is to port<br>
                    FileSystems to Cuis.<br>
                    But since Cuis is a<br>
                    lightweight Smalltalk dialect, FileSystems might<br>
                    be an overkill.<br>
                    <br>
                    Best<br>

                  Thank you!<br>

                  Having a better, simpler filesystem api would be a
