Yes, I know -- sorry. I would have helped you DIY for, say chmod. However the API in this case was a little different between chmod(2) and the Smalltalk classes (chmod wants uids/gids, not names), and I was afraid you'd go through too many iterations or frustrations or both. I also took the occasion to add another tiny feature, as I wrote in the other message, namely an implementation of "chmod -R"/"chown -R"/"touch -R" (the latter actually does not exist in coreutils). You can look at the patch I sent, it only adds lines so it should be easy to read. If you want to summarize your findings in a blog post on http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ or something like that, I'll be glad to read it and comment it to aid your learning.
