Hi All,

In porting the Minnestore OODB to Squeak, I'm running into problems with
directory manipulation. There are methods in class FileDirectory for creating
directories, but not for deleting them (FileDirectory deleteFileNamed: won't
work) or asking whether a directory exists (FileDirectory fileExists: answers
false), and there's also no method for asking whether a given name is a
directory or a normal file (though this can be written using existing methods).

Am I missing something?

Has anyone else noticed this and added it in some package?

Should we use a couple of the empty primitives in the range 163-168 for new
directory primitives?
