Hi Stelios,

you can use gSystem->AccessPathName("pathtofilename");

be careful 'cause this methods returns 0 if found and 1 if not.

But I just noticed that :

Bool_t TSystem::AccessPathName(const char *, EAAccessMode)
{
 //
 //
 return kFALSE
}

I didn't see this for version 3.03.09 only for version > 3.05 (for
instance here 3.05.05) ...

what did happen ??
