So, what else have we got out there for file/directory

uhm... actually, I can't think of the conventions for any others
at the moment.
Acorn's DFS is :drive.dir.filename - but dir can only be a single
character (and directories can't be nested).
What about Commodore machines - did they support directories at all?
Most things of that era seem to work at the partition / file level and
ignore the concept of directories altogether.
I can't remember what DomainOS did, but I remember
it striking me
when I learned of it.
Isn't it just machine:unix-path ? Can't remember now, although I may be
attempting an install of DomainOS tomorrow so will be finding out pretty
soon ;) (I do have manuals, just not here)
