Dear fellow FileDirectory loathers!

Just  quick update on the state of Rio, I am quite pleased with the way 
that things are working out, particularly some of the new stuff which 
includes:

1. A generic stream copyTo: stream function.
2. Simple read/writeStreams api.
3. Adaptor for transparently using gzip streams, using the same API in 
both binary/text modes.
4. A RioDirAdaptor API for moving Files and File Trees into Directories
5. A RioArchiveAdaptor providing the same API for moving Files and File 
Trees into Archives. (Zip / Tar - does anyone feel like implementing Tar 
support?)
6. MacOS support - With some help I got tests to be green on MacOS, as 
well asLinux.  I have not got a Windows box to work with at the moment.

I have put some effort into some fairly comprehensive documentation 
which you can find here.

p.s. still to do: Extracting files from archives, working with files on 
remote servers, and OSProcess 'use the OS' mode.
