I already use Stat. Can't see anything in the documentation regarding user
rights or object authority.

Thanks,

These are for library objects, not the rest of the IFS.

There is the stat() function - it is callable with CALLPRC from a CLLE
program because it uses pointers. First parameter is the path name, second
parameter is a structure that contains the various information you want -
declare a *CHAR long enough to get it all. See InfoCenter API Finder to get

the details. Scott Klement probably has the layout translated into the
various binary, etc., data chunks.
