Does anyone know how to get a directory listing or the
file attributes of a file on an LIF (Logical Interchange Format) disk
on an HP9816 running Pascal V3.0 (I think)
(the USCD derivative system) from an executing program?

I'm working on a server version of the HP-Kermit and I'ld like
to be able to send file atrribute packets across with
as much information about the original file as possible.

As an alternate, does anyone know how to get a copy of the
specification for the Logical Interchange Format that HP seems
to have available on some of their machines. I could probably
read the disk "raw" and grab out what I need if I know how it's
stored.

Perhaps there's some way to call in the Filer, have it execute,
and put its listing somewhere.

I've spent awhile with HP's documentation and I can't seem to
find a good answer.  I must admit UNIX has spoiled me.  I'ld
forgotten how much of a pain it is to do many things on other 
operating systems.

P.S. I'll be sending a version of the HP-Kermit to Columbia
for inclusion in the library "Real Soon Now".
P.P.S. I'm also most of the way through an advanced Fortran Kermit
for HP1000 RTE-A.

I was reading the back pages of the latest issue of 
Electronic Design and saw an ad for file interchange
between HP and IBM(tm)PC.  

Don't know if this was what you are looking for but
it may help (July 24,1986 issue, page 165).
