LA>> The DOS support in OS/2 does appear to use a badly written
LA>> FindFirst/FindNext call, however it has a serious bug that
LA>> results in a return of a maximum of about 38,000 files per call.

JdBP>> That's interesting.  From what did you deduce this ?

LA> From an easily reproducible error from a search routine in a DOS app I
LA> wrote years ago, which we had a discussion about two years or so ago.

ET> This demonstrates that you didn't read my original post at all. :)

  ...and the original response, which you didn't read at all, WAS
  NOT TO YOU, IT WAS TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO *DID* COMMENT ON THE DOS
  FINDFIRST/FINDNEXT.

  Got it?

  Feeling a bit snippy today Eddy?
