There was a thread started by Tim Ferrell (ruby-talk:129645) about disk
usage.  That led to a discussion about a Windows version and how it
would be ideal if we could make the API identical across platforms, so
that's what inspired me.  If we can do it, great.  If it isn't
practical, then I understand that as well.

Heh - I'm not going to drop his work - it's far too valuable!  I'll
probably just alter it a little.  We've gone through this before - he
hammers out the backend and I hammer out the frontend. :)

Also keep in mind that English is not Heesob's native language, so
sometimes things come across a little more harshly than they actually
are.

Anyway, I'll take a closer look this weekend.  I lost a day yesterday
after taking a rather nasty spill while skiing.  Ouch.

Regards,

Dan
