>Hi Bret,
>>The Hacker's Guide lists SET COMPATIBLE among commands never to use, because it breaks code like crazy. I suppose it is all right if you set it ON just for the fsize command and set it OFF immediately after. But if we strictly adhere to the guideline, what would be the alternative to FSIZE()?

I also use aDir(), specially because if I need the filesize, I usually need its date/time too; I just used FSize() for this little one, and QUIT immediately afterwards :)
