Thank you I.S. and all who replied! :-)

It's my understanding that [NSFileManager fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:] 
will do fine for a single file but for directories it won't include the sizes 
of the subdirectories as Finder does.  That's what I got in my testing as well 
but maybe I'm missing something?

As for not using Carbon I suppose there's no reason I can't use it.  I was just 
thinking with Finder going away from Carbon and since I'm just learning Cocoa I 
was trying to avoid it if I could.  But if it's the best way I can use it...

Thank you very much,

Rick

  Have you tried searching the archives? How about Google?

  See -[NSFileManager fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:] ... it
includes a fileSize attribute.
