Garcia) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: How can I check that a .DIR file is actually a directory? Keywords: file, directory Message-ID: <3689@ut-emx.UUCP> Date: 29 Jun 88 16:33:37 GMT Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas Lines: 12 In my FORTRAN program I use LIB$FIND_FILE to get a list of filenames. Every once in a while a .DIR file shows up. How can I tell if this file is actually a directory? The solution I'm using messes up the context variable of the LIB$FIND_FILE call.Has someone perhaps used QIO's to the disk ACP to examine the file's directory bit? -- Jeannette M.
