Subject:  Fattrib problems reading directories


Hi,

I have been using 'Fattrib' gemdos function to read the attributes of a
directory but all it returns is 0 without bit 0x10 set to indicate that
it is a directory.

Am I doing something wrong ? Or isn't supposed to give the attributes of a
directory ?

I get the correect results for files (ie. read only).

Can any one help ?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew Smith.
