Re: LDAP Queries

I know that is not the answer you want. But beyond dns, html and non-encrypted ftp, there's no build in protocols for rev (tho there's third party additions for email stuff). I wasn't sure if Rev supported it in a library or what. Since it doesn't, I can code what I need easy enough in Perl and jus...

thanks.

Re: Background Image in Scrolling Field

I've just encountered a strange problem. Of course, it may not be strange to others but to this newb it is strange.

Checking for File Existence

Is there a way to check for file or directory existence prior to loading/reading/deleting/etc? I'd rather not shell out to an external command just for this. I can't find anything on this topic either in the docs or on the internet.

Hope that makes sense.
