[Haskell-cafe] Filesystem access

[Andrew Coppin]

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!

2. Is there any way to discover Windoze-style "attributes" for files? 
(Read-only, archive, system, hidden, et al.)
