Got this slight little problem in the AIFFILEGGET intrinsic.

Item 5018 gives me the number of bytes for the FLIMIT. Fine.

I have been trying to figure out how this converts to a number that
represents the flimit in records.

I took the flimit bytes and divided it by the record size. Seems to work ok
on fixed length recs but it doesn't work too good on variable length record
files.

My simple solution was just call FLABELINFO but I'd rather figure it out
the "real" way for my own education and so on.

Can anyone enlighten me how to convert the flimit bytes to flimit recs?

TIA,
Brian Donaldson.
