this has porbally been asked before but i couldn't find anything in the last 4 pages of posts. when using Dir.GetLong, the help file states: Quote: Bit 3 attrExecute set to 1 if the program can execute the file.
Does Anybody know what the heck this means??? Palindine |

I believe it's a return value from using Dir.GetLong() or something like that. Check up using F10 on the said command. Could be handy in avoiding Sys.Exec() errors. |

Intriguing. It appears that either this 'executable' format does not exist, is of some obscure format that rarely shows its face, or Holt screwed up. I'm going to go with the latter. |
