Hello Salix,

  
I   use similar routines with dates. What I would do is create a new include
file called my_file.e. Put in get_dir_name(object dir),get_dir_size(object
dir)and get_dir_attributes(object dir) etc... Put in an error trap that says
"Directry not found". No I don't think this should go into a standard routine.
