>>>Thanks Cetin. One of the problems with the speed of using ADIR() is that you have to use "*.*" to get all the subdirectories. For sometime I've been meaning to write a routine that uses the API (Surprised?) to retrieve them. The reason is twofold. One, to see if it is faster; and, two, to retrieve the names as they've been created. ADIR() returns the values in all upper case.
>>Yes surprised. Was thinking why you didn't do it with API. I know you as one the API masters. Once upon a time I had wrote a code in prolog for findfile (found Norton's too slow for checking just where it's). If I could find it will send you to work on.

I think 16-bit *should* have a findfirst (don't think it could be calling just DOS findfirst ?). Well at last I have my win32api.hlp (thanks to Rick Borup) since wednesday. I'll be hacking for sometime and pass you any info if I have some. Hope to be on chat tonight (for me).
