Hi all, I discovered something, and i don't know what app to blame for this anomally.... i wrote some Eu code to build a file listing of words of a specified length, and for some reason i don't know, the win95 Explorer lists some files as 3.99Gig in length. The thing is, if i check file properties, one file, for instance, it says it's 66bytes,,, `cause there are 3 words in the file of length 20 characters each word, ( (3 x 20) + (3 x crlf) = 66 ). Here is that file: COMPARTMENTALIZATION ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM INSTITUTIONALIZATION So what do i blame the bad length reporting on? Is Eu storing the file right? If i "refresh" in Explorer, the sizes are reported properly, making me think Explorer isn't being properly notified of the file being closed, and it's prolly a windoze bug. Kat, puzzled
