This program of mine runs in Fedora 41 (Linux).
The Raku File IO in runs perfectly, well, until
this point.   I was hoping it was something I was
doing wrong, as I can fix that.

I do write for Windows, but I prefer Linux.  Problem
is that my customer mainly run Windows.

In days of yesteryear, the Windows File IO
was a nightmare as it did not recognize UNC file
paths (\\IP_address\directory\etc).  It lopped
off one of the back slashes at the beginning and
inserted a drive letter.  It is also impossible to
see files in the shadow (\\?\xxxx) because of it.

It may be fixed by now, but I have not tested it.
I wrote a module that makes calls to powershell for
the file IO commands I needed.

I was thinking of replacing the calls to powershell
with API calls, but it is just easier to call powershell.
API call would be more friendly to Windows 7, but I no
longer have any customers in Windows 7.
