Hi, Wilko! Ok, thanks! This utility was not in the latest production version, but I fount it in the latest development verison. I tried it in interactive mode for functions dirlist, isfileonline, prepare and found that none works. dirlist doesn't show anything, isfileonline always says that a file is online, prepare does nothing visible...
