   I''ve added a function STREAMPROP to the system that should appear in the next loadup.  It is analogous to WINDOWPROP, except that it currently only works for user properties.  Ie., you can''t set STREAM fields with it.'

How is STREAMPROP different from GETFILEINFO or the other collection of random functions which get info about streams (LINELENGTH etc...)'
