Problem is that it is "FileExists". On Windows a directory is not a file,
under *nix it is. One some you even can edit a director

I've written stuff in freepascal that can load and parse a directory and
decipher if it’s a directory or a file - even on POSIX (linux - Fedora 5).
I'm not saying this is a big achievement - but perhaps - at an expense of
speed - but in definitive returned results - I wonder if it would be prudent

There is no getting away that Dos filesystem handling is different
from Unix file handling. On Dos like platforms, a filename with
a same name as a subdirectory can exist in the same directory. In other

FileExists seems to be inconsistent between linux and windows.
FileExists in linux returns true for a directory, but not in windows.
The windows behaviour is consistent with Delphi, though, and I assume
that's correct.
