Hi All. FINALLY go Lazarus to work under Linux. Not realy a linux
person, so that didnt help :-)

Anyway, I have a need to write an app. that will monitor a folder and
tell me if the folder has changed, i.e. a files date/time has changed
etc.

I have a control in Dephi that I have used many times, and wondered if
there was a similar type of control around for Lazurus that would do
the same, OR if someone was able to tell me a away to do it?
I guess I could look at he folder every x seconds and check the files
date and time, but not sure this really is the BEST way.

Thanks, Jeremy

STAT seems quite easy or interface with FAM (don't know if header
translation is done for FPC)
