These are all possible to get.  I shouldn't have to extern to C to be able to
get these or create my own libraries.  They should be part of std.file library.

Just a thought...

They are operations pertaining to an individual file, not to the 
specific process of recursing through a directory structure to find a 
file.  As such, they ought to be in std.file.  I refer you back to 
"Simple Operations should be Simple".

What's with the unnecessary and off-point smart-arsery? Did you not get any
nice Christmas presents?

So you think those ops should be std.file? So do I. Well done. Aren't you a

his intent _right now_, given the current state of the libs, whereas your

Nice to see this NG's standard of wasted hot air is just as it was when I

It's not a question of toughness, just one of resources. I have been
juggling too many things for too long to the detriment of some, and I've
just got no spare time for filtering out this peurile points-scoring that
people, who may perhaps have more time, are wont to indulge in.

 Anyway... if you find this newsgroup too annoying, which once in awhile

I suspect Stewart should take Ant's place on your blacklist ;) One thing is
all the hot air, the other the ability to see through it. With 15 Cs below,
I find it nice with some hot air :)

And Matthew, I'm still awaiting my D book copy for review ;)

So that is when we are going to see something hapening with DTL?

Stewart maybe stated the obvious but by doing that contributed more than 
you did with this post.

Sorry Matthew but I'm sure you're out-of-line. Before jumping up and down  
on somebody, learn their style etc... but you know all that already, so  
that's why I guess you are under some stress right now. I can't understand  
your rash, unnecessary, and off-point smart-arsery any other way.

Well actually, Stewart is. When I read your reply, my first thought was  
along the lines "Hmmmm some more of Matthew's self promotion" - not that  
that bothers me, mind you.

 But you see I was trying to help jicman to acheive
 his intent _right now_, given the current state of the libs,

That wasn't very clear to me either, Matt. It came across as "sour grapes"  
that your recls is *still* not incorporated into DMD yet.

 whereas your
 point is, ... hmmm, well I'm a little lost there. Perhaps you can  
 enlighten
 us?

Stewart tends to be 'to the point' and is not afraid to be bold. As he  
says "they ought to be in std.file". It wasn't personal and certainly not  
as hostile as you assumed.

 Nice to see this NG's standard of wasted hot air is just as it was when I
 last lost the will to live here.

This NG is a breath of fresh air compared to other forums. Stewart doesn't  
contribute to the wasted, nor hot, air here. I frequently disagree with  
his style but very rarely on its content.

 Sheesh. See you all in 2007!

Can you bother to lower yourself to the plebian level?

I believe Matthew was a little defensive when it appeared Stewart was 
ticked because Matt posted upside down.

Please understand I am not defending Matthew on this, just pointing 
something out that you may have missed...
