[comp.sys.mac.programmer] file size/launch...

     Ok, I have two small questions which should be easily answered by
  all you major hackers who just love to prove their programming prowess,
  so if you have any suggestions or code, por favor send it out to the
  rest of us.  1)  How can I tell the size of a file in Bytes (I'm only
  concerned with HFS) and 2) I am using Think C 3.01 and am in need of
  some code to Launch an application.  (I've tried _Launch on my own as
  well as via the various examples in the technotes, yet always end up
  in Macsbug with an error in the *Chain* trap call!?!)  It doesn't matter
  if the launch expects to be returned to (i.e. under MultiFinder) or
  not.	Any help will be preserved in an air-tight vacuum chamber, guarded
  by laser-beam motion detectors, and prayed to every other third fortnight.
  (Would you rather I say it would be greatly appreciated just as everyone
  else does?)  Thanks very mucho...

  P.S. Thanks to all those out there who responded to my File Manager
  queries, I no longer have nightmares about "Parameter blocks!"

  P.S.S  What does "P.S." stand for?
