| Nowadays if there is a need to deal with directories and files, there is .NET, right? Well, some companies have decided against .NET, so there is still the need for a .NET-free solution to this. This is what the WinFile class is designed for. | This class offers methods that return the same result under Windows, Linux (without the PI) and Mac OS. |

| But there is more to say to this: try to get a DirectoryInfo for a directory with, say, 100,000 files. Then compare with this class. | Examples are `GetPID` and `KillPID`. |
