Hello Walter,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried this on an alias file, and it worked. But I have to say that this is not convenient at all. To be sure that a file is really an empty file, we must always verify with this formula...

Well, Mac file system on Unix is something not convenient at all.

On the other hand, I discovered that with File Buddy, it is easy to list up all the *really* empty files in a drive.

Thank you anyway.
