Hello,

In fact, i have exactly the same module for Unix ( but i need to call it
SysPath ). 

Are you interested in fusionning your module with mine ? 

I had also SysUtil which try to implement some common unix function (
find, which, mkdir, test... ) in SysUtil.

I am really interested in fusioning your module with mine, because i
want fileutils ( my module ) to be able to work on every platform.

Kind regard
