[Zope] LocalFS

[Dieter Maurer]

Dear Jonothan,

thank you for LocalFS!

If you had not created it, I would have done it.
However, I must admit, mine would not have been as nice as yours.


I have attached a small patch that allows "Local File System"
and its content to be cataloged. There are still some open issues
I want to discuss in "zope-dev":
  1. the addional meta types ("Local Directory" and "Local File")
     which cannot be added as objects but should, maybe, cataloged.
  2. "bobobase_modification_time", which is not completely
     adaquate for cataloging local files.


Dieter
