Re: _dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext analog on AS/400

Thanks Elvis. You prevented me from starting to use API-s (QHFOPNDR, QHFRDDR). 
Their names even cannot be pronounced properly by a person having one tongue.

Your way is significantly easier and exactly does the job. I do not care too 
much that it is not possible to use name wildcards - it is not a problem in my 
case.
And thanks for a proposal to code wrapper :-)
My problem was very practical and now its solved!
Thanks.

Jevgeni.
