Re: Enhanced dir() function

My main use for attributes is:

DirList = dir()
for i=1 to length(DirList) do
  if find('d', DirList[i][D_ATTRIB]) then
    -- Do something
  end for
end for

In this case adding extra attribs, don't break the code.  
Is the same if the string is "d" or "dhaxyz"

Of course some people will use different things, like 
read each character of the string to set flags on-off, 
in this case they must to include in the code 
instructions to ignore unknow attribs.

Linux users currently only get info about 'd' attrib,
they would like to get a unix style chmod sequence like:

"drwxr-x---" 

In this case the position of the char changes the sense.
