Filing system abstraction

[Daniel Hanlon]

Hello,

I've recently been working on a KIOslave for KDE. This is effectively a 
class which implements an interface to provide a new filing system for 
any KDE application, in my case for GridFTP - an extended version of 
FTP for grid computing, but lots of others exist to allow, for example, 
an application to transparently access files on other machines etc..

I'm a complete beginner with GNUstep etc... but am interested to know 
whether it's possible to do somethings similar within this framework 
and thus allow the same functionality to work on Linux or MacOS.

If anyone can give me any hints whether this type of filing system 
abstraction exists here and any pointers to where I might find out more 
about it I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel.
