It has 2 constructors: File() and File(string). I don't know what File() is for, but in File(string), the string is a URL.=20 Yes a URL. So File is a "transparant-remote/local-file-access-facility". Only I wouldn't trust it to put my grocery memos. First, the use of mktemp in it, the general mess of the code, etc. Basically, File doesn't create any file unless you access one of the open* or create methods. I think File should be use to represent a file. A real file. But this is arguable. We have RealFile in libh (!!!). A class such as URL should be implemented instead. My problem right now is mostly with the syntax of C++ itself. Was mine correct?
