Oof. It looks like Mike Hall’s filesystem package is gone from the RAA,  
and I can no longer get to his home page.

Fortunately, I have a copy laying around somewhere. Unless someone can  
find a link for me I’ll probably take Mike’s code and repackage it as  
sys-filesystem at some point.

Dan

Would you add Windows support into the same package? I could add it into  
Mike’s code if you wanted me to and sent what you’ve got to me.
