OK, a few questions...
1. Is there *any* way to determine how large a file is *without* opening it? The only library function I can find to do with file sizes is hFileSize; obviously this only works for files that you have permission to open!
System.Posix.Files fileSize
Does that *work* on Windoze? Wait, hang on a sec... No, it doesn't. The module doesn't even exist. (I was half-expecting it might work. GHC does currently run in a Unix emulator...)
2. Is there any way to discover Windoze-style "attributes" for files? (Read-only, archive, system, hidden, et al.)
The module before, if I understand correctlu.
No, AFAIK the archive attribute doesn't even exist on POSIX. It's a Windoze-specific thang.
