RE: opendir()

to

interpret the command string and call some program, (API), under the
covers seems like a waste of CPU cycles. Our system is lacking there
being the first generation Power5 processor @ 1.5Ghz. I expect this
job
to run for days in the background.

I'm not in a position to test this now (I wish I were - I love this
stuff) but if the API truly emulates Unix, then Qp0lRenameUnlink
*should* do the move for you. I'll try this tonight if you don't get to
it first.

* Rename file (overwrite if exists)
D c_renameforce PR 10I 0 ExtProc('Qp0lRenameUnlink')
D old * Value Options(*String)
D new * Value Options(*String)

Occurs to me that I should be more obvious. Usually I'm about as subtle as
a sledgehammer. An example would be:
rc = c_renameforce('/my/old/dir/file11': '/other/new/dir/file11') ;
if (rc = 0) ;
// good job...
else ;
// look at errno here.
Endif
