I think the attached change to Semaphore>>critical: should be included
(it simplifies the method and removes unnecessary code).
Also, I don't see on this list Ned's fix to FileDirectory>>exists (part
of "MoreFileFixes" that he posted to the list on Nov 30)...that fix is
critical (for Windows users at least). I've attached the correct
version of this method (as agreed upon on the list). Ned's change set
includes more than this one fix; so if you don=92t want to pull his =
entire
change set, at least include the version of #exists that I've attached
to this email.
