History
2015 December, A-Shell 6.3.1501: Add flags. Prior to this update, the routine only returned the number of bytes in the file, as if flags=0.
2015 January, A-Shell 6.1.1400: Routine now supports files larger than 2GB when the returned parameter is any F type. Previously, it only avoided the 2GB limit for F,6.
