Folder size

[Chris Carroll-Davis]

Xavier -

Thanks for the tip.

Iit's for both Mac & PC really - but mainly mac at the moment.  Since  
posting, I've found that I can get the info I need with applescript -  
"Tell application "Finder" ... return physical size of folder  
"Folderpath"  ... End tell", but of course that's no good for PC.  I  
could look at your suggestion, but I need this to run on any machine  
- i.e. I can't rely on any other software being installed.   :-(

Looks like I might have to bite the bullet and do it with transcript  
eventually. Yuk.  I know for a decent programmer it is an easy job,  
but I'm getting old and brain is slow!

Thanks

Chris
