Get folder or file size in REALbasic

Coming back to the main thread… every special accounts will get access to my RBCSize Class (in feature others) that allows you to get extremely fast the file or folder size (bytes or kB) in REALbasic. RBCSize Class works on Mac OS, Linux and Windows (I think only english version). Here is example how can you get the file size on Windows and folder size on Mac OS or Linux. Of course you can get file and folder size on each platform. Class size = 3,02 KB.
