Well, the file size can be obtained from the MS_$ATTRIBUTES call (which is
an Apollo specific call). The type UID can be obtain from IOS_$INQ_TYPE_UID
(also an Apollo specific call). I don't know if the combination of these
2 calls is faster than STREAM_$INQUIRE or IOS_$INQUIRE... In any case you
probably should use the IOS call rather than the STREAM calls. They are the
newer implementation.
