  I tried that. What's the format of the stat struct? It returns a
longint that ctime() formats into a huge string but I can't find
anything else that works on it. Or is it just the DOS integers joined
together?

  That only just occurred to me... I'll give it a go.

 PE> That is not C's efforts to do files, that is "C's" effort to do

  Gee... fancy that. I always thought files were directories. Silly
me. No wonder I have so much trouble with them. 

  C doesn't do files very well, either. I wasted a whole bloody day
stuffing around with date/time.. and how do I erase/move/copy files in 
UNIX? It says you can delete entries using opendir() but it doesn't 
say how. 

Regards,
Bob
