Help on module rbos:

NAME
    rbos

FILE
    ~\rbos.py

DESCRIPTION
    rbos.py (C)2008 Don A. Hanlen
    I make no claims, and take no reponsibility, for use or abuse of this code!
    I require those who DO use it to cite its source!
    If this code is used for commercial purposes I expect a (negotiable) cut!
    
    These functions use the Python os module in a way that will work on both
    Posix and Windoze, hopefully elsewhere.

FUNCTIONS
    backupOpen(name, extension)
        move name.extension to name.'bck',
        return new name.extension for write
        will return new file even nothing to back up!
    
    convertPickleDict(dName, fName)
        a util to convert pickled dictionaries to lists[]
        (it appears pickle screws with attributes on Windoze)
    
    copy(oldName, newName)
        return newName | 'no such file'
    
    directory()
        return list of files in current working directory
    
    dumpList(dList, fName)
        like a pickle.dump() but opens file on its own
    
    getsavedList(dList, hashH)
        backup current saved games list[], return last list[]
        could be same dictionary!
    
    loadList(fName)
        like a pickle.load, but opens file on its own, returns dList[]
    
    remove(fName)
        return 'removed' | 'no such file'
    
    rename(oldName, newName)
        return newName | 'no such file'
