Would anyone know the correct way to ask if a disk has file tags? I know that Apple no longer supports tags; and I know how to read and write the tag bytes IF THEY ARE THERE. How can I tell if they are? And of course, Apple would want me to qualify my question by asking if this can be done so as to be "compatible" with what's out there now - and likely to be out there in the future. thanks, Jerry Keough keough@mbunix.mitre.org

I don't know the answer to your question, but I would like to point out that in several versions of the system, even though tags were technically supported, that they weren't always accurate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions
