This is the first preliminary version of Eiffel compiler independent classes for directory and file-handling. At the moment it's just a very thin layer above POSIX-C calls, with some enhancments to make it more comfortable for Eiffel Programmers.
The author writes: It still works, however I suggest that you now use eposix instead.
Short forms (generated with SmallEiffel's short command) can be found in the distribution.
The design of the features is mainly from Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment by Richard Stevens.
