'fraid so. The Unix directory structure and
the correlating
free-form file competed with the file-as- record-structure and
directory-as-record-structure in the seventies and eighties. The
competition had finished by the nineties, and hardly anybody
remembers it now.
Sorry, I don't understand this. Can you give an example of
file-as-record and directory-as-record? Some of it suggests MVS, but
not quite.
