1. X-Plat File Functions
Is there a cross-platform file operations library out there?
For example, one that would allow file_delete(name_of_file) or
file_rename(old_name, new_name) to work on all EUPHORIA-supported platforms.
If not, somebody should make one! :)

If you are looking for a shared library you could try:
www.imatix.com
They have SFL (Standard Function library) that provides several
hundred cross-platform functions, including file, date and socket
functions.

I have made one, together with Jim Brown. It's main functiions are:
-- s = file_path(name)
-- s = file_name(name)
-- i = exist(name)
-- i = make_dir(dirname)
-- i = del_file(filename)
-- i = del_dir(dirname)
-- x = del_tree(dirname)
-- i = get_attr(name)
-- i = set_attr(name, attr)
-- x = get_file_time(filename)
-- i = set_file_time(filename, filetime)
-- i = copy_file(sourcefile, targetfile)
-- x = copy_tree(sourcedir, targetdir)
-- i = move(oldname, newname) [= rename()]
It's not ready for release yet, but it's already usable.
If you want, I can send it to you privately.

Yeah, that looks great... 'cept I don't know how to use that with
EUPHORIA, and, for simplicity's sake, it would be better to make one in
pure EUPHORIA.
