Pro/email from Unix script file


You know... I was working with Rick the other day... there is a function
that will give me the fstat of th8ings.... and I looked.... and I didn't
find it!!!! I must have been having a bad hair day.

:-)

Thanks!

I want to say "I knew that...." in my best Fonzie voice.... but, obviously,
I only "vaguely, sort of, halway... remembered that!"  :-)

John
