Question:

I'm using GetFile to iterate through all the files in a directory (or
folder if you like) to process them.  However, in order to do this I
must distinguish between files and folders.  Is there a way to tell
(in an application) if a file is a file or a folder?

There are some low-level PB routines but I'd hate to have to muck with
the parameter blocks.  If ncessary though I guess I'll have to.  Any
guidence?  The Inside Mac and Mac Revealed books say absolutely
nothing on the subject.

An email reply would be nice... I can't keep up with this newgroups.  

Thanks!
