Re: [MacPerl] more info from FSpGetFInfo

[Axel Rose <rose@sj.com>]

Just wondering whether the additional stat() could be
saved if FSpGetFInfo() could return creation time,
modification time and size.

I have no idea if this is a limitation in the Toolbox
call.
If not this is just a suggestion for extending FSpGetFInfo
for the author (Matthias?).
