Pack Ann: os_lib 1.2 (& packs: requires and os_sub, removed)

[nicos.ang...@gmail.com]

New version of os_lib: 1.2 is now available from the server.

os_lib contains a number of predicates for manipulating OS objects,

such as: os_dir/1+2, os_file/1+2,  os_sel/3, os_ext/3, os_postfix/3,  os_mill/3, os_dir_stem_ext/4, etc

It supports polymorphism (/-terms,atoms,strings,aliases) and operator led casting (/,+,&,@).

In addition pack(requires) (superseded by pack(lib)) and
pack(os_sub) have been removed.

The crux of os_sub's functionality can now be found in os_lib.

For instance all files within the current dir structure can be had with os_file( File, sub(true) ).


?- cd( pack(os_lib) ).
true.

?- ls.
% doc/      pack.pl   prolog/   src/     
true.

?- lib(os_lib).
true.

?- os_file( File ).
File = pack.pl ;
false.

?- os_file( File, sub(true) ).
File = 'doc/Releases.txt' ;
File = 'doc/html/h1-bg.png' ;
File = 'doc/html/h2-bg.png' ;
...
