It is all object this and object that from now on. No more API calls
or Dir$ for me.
That's all well and fine, if somewhat pointless. FSO is slower, adds
overhead and is disabled on some systems due to the security issues it
presents. If you want to use an object model instead of API calls then
create a wrapper class for them; that's all FSO is when you really look at
it. It's just poorly implemented.
