there was no attachment, perhaps they are not permitted on this ML or 
you forgot it.

I think, that's not the way developers like to get patches sent it. I 
glanced over the archivers and platforms (there are essentially posix, 
windows, pocketpc & os/2 as seen in 
http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/physfs/file/7bd933e66d8d/src/physfs_platforms.h) 
and except for OS/2 all other have already the necessary functions. Does 
anybody know any good online OS/2 reference?

I think i can send a patch for review till sunday.

How about a struct like the standard stat struct:
struct stat {
filesize,
lastmodtime,
filetype,
writeable
};

and PHYSFS_stat(struct *stat)?

or
PHYSFS_getFileInfo(*size, *type, *modtime,*writeable) passing in 
non-null pointers for value which shall be retrieved?
