a filesize error

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

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
