Hi Craig,

I'd be careful using ADIR() under VFP 5.0 or before with on a machine supporting long file names. If, for example, you do a search for all text files using "*.txt", if a file exists with multiple periods in it (eg. mytextv.1.txt), it won't be included in the returned array. This problem is corrected in 6.0.
