Dear god, you guys really like hurting yourselves.

If filetest doesn't do it, why not just something on the order of:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

main (argc, argv)
     int argc;
     char *argv[];
{
  struct stat stbuf;
  if (!stat(argv[1], &stbuf))
    printf("%o\n", stbuf.st_mode);
  else
    printf("error: stat failed\n");
}

Cheers,
Ben
