I'm currently working on a Perl Shell for the Mac. I know, I know. Anyway, first off, please mail me if you'd like to check it out when it's done. It'll probably be a month or so until I have everything I want in it there and working to my satisfaction. The question I have relates to invisible files, however. I looked into the toolbox function for file info including the invisible bit, and the type it returns is U16. I don't know what U16 is, or how to use it. Could someone give me a hand with that? (I need to use it in the ls function). Thanks, strider( corinth ); "Grandpa, when you were young, you didn't have 'social' diseases to worry about. What did you wear for protection?"
