Use GetInfo to get some useful information about files (size, protection bits,
date, comment, type, etc.).

GetInfo requires:

   - Kickstart 2.04+
   - asl.library (if you want to make use of a file requester)
   - whatis.library (included in the archive)


@Endnode
@Node "Installation"

Just drag the GetInfo icon anywhere you want.

GetInfo can be started from Workbench by double-clicking its icon. Then a file
requester appears.
Otherwise you can start the program from a Shell window with the following
form:

   GetInfo [<file>]

where <file> must be a valid file name (if not specified, a file requester
appears).
After you select a file name, a requester like the following pops up:

   +--------------------------------+
   |GetInfo                         |
   +--------------------------------+
   | File name: Clock               |
   | Size: 13876                    |
   | Blocks: 28                     |
   | Protection: ---ARWED           |
   | Date: 02-09-92                 |
   | Time: 12:25:14                 |
   | Comment:                       |
   | Type: Exe                      |
   +--------------------------------+
   |  +------+            +------+  |
   |  | Next |            | Quit |  |
   |  +------+            +------+  |
   +--------------------------------+

Click on the Next button (not available if you specified a file name in the
command line) to select another file through the file requester. Click on the
Quit button to quit the program.

The program has been tested several times, but its reliability is not
guaranteed at 100%. I (@{"the author" link "Author"}) do not consider myself responsable
for loss or damage of data as consequence of the use of the program. Use
GetInfo at your own risk.


@Endnode
@Node "Copyright"

@{b}@{u}Copyright:@{uu}@{ub}

The program is CARDWARE, therefore it is freely distributable on condition
that it is always accompanied by all the files in this archive. The whole
archive must not be modified in any way. If you think GetInfo is useful, let
me know by sending @{"me" link "Author"} a postcard (preferred) or an E-mail message.
