hi, i can't seem to figure out how to normalizethe path of a FileReference i am trying to compare FileSystem disk root / 'local/lib' with Filesystem disk workingDirectory / '..' but they don't match because the latter produces: File @ '/local/lib/pharo4/..' i'd expect to be able to compare two references as equal if they point to the same directory on disk, regardless of the path getting there. is there any way to accomplish that? greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
