>>>>>I'm stuck here re-coding some old foxpro stuff. It's been a while since I've written anything other then VFP programs. I'm about to go crazy :-P. Ok, can someone point me in the direction of a function that will return the size of a file? I could redirect the output of the foxpro dir command and parse it into an array or something, but I would really prefer to avoid ugly functions like that.

ADIR huh? Heh, thanks. At least it puts it in the array for you. That's better than nothing. :)
