As I seem to be in a minority of one wanting to call the access to the file package a file service rather than a directory service I guess I have to back down - but also bear in mind that LDAP or M'Softs active directory are considered to be directory services - whereas I presume that the SAGA directory service is a directory of files??
There is no explicit SAGA file/directory service; a file object manages a single file, and a dir object manages a single directory. But dir also enables creating new file objects (method open) and new directory objects (method openDir) on the same server, that's why I think that dir is the closest to a file service...
OK - I am convinced Steve
