They are just the strings "." and ".." padded with spaces to length 11, except they are not actually strings since they are not NUL terminated. 11 is for 8+3 msdos short file names. These are not NUL terminated either, but it should be easy to ignore the extra NUL given by the string constants. > They are all either '.' or ' ', the commas are just list separators. > IMO spaces after the commas would make it slightly easier to see. The single quotes looking like commas indeed makes this hard to read. Bruce
