Thanks, works nicely. But I have at least one more question. Is it possible to 
obtain directory attributes in a reliable way? For files there is no problem 
but calling "ls" on a directory lists it's contents not name and attributes. 
I can call "ls" for .. instead of . (what if I have no privileges to list 
files in .. ?) and get data from there but I thought that maybe there exists 
an appropriate routine to simplify the job. TIA
