Instance protocol:

 accessTime

return accessed

 alternativeName

return the file's other name (DOS name on Windows).
Nil if there is no other name

 creationTime

 fileSize

return the file's size

 gid

return gid

 id

return id

 linkTargetPath

for symbolic links only: return the path where the symbolic link points to.
This may be either an absolute or relative path relative to the base path.

 mode

return mode

 modificationTime

return modified

 numLinks

return numLinks

 path

for symbolic links only: return the path where the symbolic link points to.
This may be either an absolute or relative path relative to the base path.

 sourcePath

 statusChangeTime

lazy time conversion

 type

return type

 uid

return uid

 fixedHeaderSize

return the fixedHeaderSize (VMS only; nil everywhere else)

 recordAttributes

return the recordAttributes (VMS only; nil everywhere else)

 recordFormat

return the recordFormat (VMS only; nil everywhere else)

 recordFormatNumeric

return the recordFormat as numeric (VMS only; nil everywhere else)

 recordSize

return the recordSize (VMS only; nil everywhere else)

backward compatibility access: in previous releases, IdentityDictionaries
were used to hold my information. Allow access via key messages.
This method will vanish - use the proper access protocol.

 isValid

true if this info contains valid status info, or only the name.
Under UNIX, the fileStatuInfo as returned from readDir ONLY contains the name of the file,
whereas under Windows, it contains the full info (incl. fileSize, access rights etc.).
The reason is that under windows, the ReadNextEntry system call does this, whereas the
the corresponding unix readdir only returns the name.
