Thanks. So, directory() function is OS dependant (I have Windows 98 at home). I was thinking along those lines, but it means, what we have to examine each piece of code and make changes... Of course, we're never checking for directory on unexisting drive, but we never know...

Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
