What types of filehandlers would not return the correct size with -s? Mostly pipes and user input devices (terminals/consoles). -s pretty much only works on file handles connected to oridinary files. For the other cases, the only way to determine the amount of data before EOF is to read it all. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")
