Issue for edition 2 of this part

Issue

It's not clear how to distantiate a file from a directory. The file attributes only indicate size and time modified. Also lenght 0 can't be used to indicate a directory.

Proposal

KEMA recommends to always include the directory seperator. When the last character of FileName is the file seperator it's a directory. E.g. "LD\KEMA" is a file and "LD\KEMA\" is a directory.
