any of the ones you mentioned (they don't do file range locking or share modes for example) and tend to be POSIX-centric for the additional features they support.ããIf you want serious cross-platform file manipulation, it's hard to beat
Synchronet's object model. Of course, you're tying youself to Synchonet then, but I absolutely wouldn't say you'll be "better off" doing those parts in a different JS engine.ãã---ãhttp://DuckDuckGo.com/ a better search engine that respects your privacy.ã þ Synchronet þ My Brand-New BBS (All the cool SysOps run STOCK!)ã
