And that is why there is http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/fileutil/fileisexecutable.html

hummm... and that works on all platforms? not just *nix? i wonder if it, too, looks at the file's extension on non-*nix platforms? ;)


No need to wonder, if you actually read the link above.

i have read it and the source in the .inc file as well... it indicates that, on the windows platform, a call like FileIsExecutable("foo.txt") would return true if "foo.txt" exists in the current directory... but this is incorrect because a .txt file is not executable :? and what if "foo.txt" is a directory? :?

no matter... at least there is something there to try to determine this functionality... i'll dig thru my source code archives and see if i can locate something with a li'l more meat on it's bones that i can offer for contribution ;)
