I know little about unix file attributes, and wonder if someone would point me to an introduction to the subject.
When a file is saved, I specify its name and where to save it. I know from use of the ls -l command that there's additional information about ownership, permission, last saved date date, size, and basic file type (directory or doc). Is there any other attribute information stored or potentially stored in the file? Applications apparently can detect a document's file type, so that information must be held somewhere. Is information about the document's MIME type and charset also held? I thought that the command lsattrib would display all this information, but apparently no such command or utility exists. Is there something that will display all the information about a file, going beyond the ls -l command? Haines Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
