Dir.GetLong

-----------------------------------

How are attributes read from the Dir.GetLong function? All I get is convoluted output.

Well the attribute variable is a bit mask where each bit is a flag representing whether each attribute is true or false. You need to use bitwise operations to extract the bit for each attribute. This is all explained in the help file.. Also, there's a tutorial on bitwise operators in the tutorials forum.
