For example, your sTotalSize variable should be an Int64 ("Long").

I am glad you wrote [Always] as you did, for learning the syntax it is not
bad to set it off, when your class is then as you think it can be, you can
set it to On. (And for your final version you have of course it forever to
ON)

Just to let people not think why was this in past not done by default (you
can set it as default in your options to). You know this of course, however
for others who read your message.

Re: File Owner

Sorry about the wrap. I had the owner sort of working. I could get the owner
of a specific file, but not for every file in a directory. I then realized
that the files crashing the program give something that is not recognized as
a valid file owner. Is there a way figure this out before it causes the an
operating problem?
