Makes sense. I've added that as a comment to FileUtils#normalize(String). For VMS I intend to add a method FileUtils#toVMSPath(File):String. I was just thinking if a more generic FileUtils#toOSPath(File):String would make sense. What do you think? Another question: Now that Java 1.2 will be required, do you intend to refactor the code to use the new Java 1.2 classes and change code which now uses reflection to access some of the Java 1.2 methods? -- knut
