- Under IBM OS/2 v2.0...
-
- ...I ran into a wall with SysGetEA(). It seems to work only with
- files, not directories. This may be a "feature", but I do not
- understand why the distinction persists. The function actually
- returns a non-zero code (i.e. error) rather than returning a (null)
- extended attribute.
-
- Has anyone looked into this problem before, or know what plans may be
- in the air?
-
