Hi Charles,
I would love to use "NSFileManager" since you and the others are right it does recursive by default, I'm not sure how I missed that, staring to long at code :). But I need to support 10.4 and according to the docs it's 10.5 and later. So what I've done is if it's a 10.4 I'm using system and on 10.5 and higher I'm using NSFileManager.
Thanks,
tom
