Hi Everyone,
There have been some issues with the new list, we have just completed a
transfer of the list to new software so it should be working properly again
for all now. Again, we'll be keeping a particular eye on this list for the
next little while to see that all is well. The address for the list has not
changed, but the commands have gone back to the original Bestserv set of
commands - we installed Bestserv to run the list as it is proven and
reliable. Please let me know if you don't get this message ;-)
Regards,
Kevin

When I put the mouse over the checkbox in the enclosed stack, a tooltip
ought to appear. Instead, MetaCard crashes. (2.3.B2, Mac powerPC)

I am trying to get the file size of a file in a specified directory. Going
back through the list archives, I found the following (slow but workable)
script:
put 0 into tBytes
open file tFile
repeat while the result is not "eof"
read from file tFile for 100000 characters
put the number of characters in it + tBytes into tBytes
end repeat
close file tFile
This works and seems to come within 100 bytes of the actual file size of the
file, but I'm wondering if I missed some built-in command in MC that is able
to get the same info more quickly? I could use a larger character number in
the repeat loop, but I want to be sensitive to low memory situations.
(I also checked the size property, but apparently this can only be used on
objects within a stack, not external to the stack.)
Thanks & Regards,
Scott

I'm developing a program to be cross platform and I want to access a common
set of files. I use more than 8 letters in the name and then the Windows
extension. I need the extra letters to clarify the files for end users. The
problem is that when I try to read these files from my Mac, it truncates them
to 8 letters (as in the 8 + 3 extension scheme). Thus "PROJECTION" becomes
"PROJEC~1". The program then does not recognize the file because the name is
changed. Is there a way to tell the Mac to not do this?
