I think the idea is that after find does stat() the file and sees that it is a directory with only two links, it shouldn't bother stat()ting the entries in that directory because none of them will be subdirectories. There will be only one more level to descend. David Tamkin Box 7002 Des Plaines IL 60018-7002 708 518 6769 312 693 0591 MCI Mail: 426-1818 GEnie: D.W.TAMKIN CIS: 73720,1570 dattier@ddsw1.mcs.com
