Re: opendir()

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bryce,

You're right that I can't simply post the article somewhere else. 
However, I can give you a link to the code download for the article 
(which isn't locked down, I don't think)

http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/noderesources/code/clubtechcode/GetIfsAttr.zip

So you won't be able to read the explanatory article, but you'll be able 
to download/read/try the sample code.

That's about the best I can do.  This is an _old_ article... my recent 
newsletter articles *are* all freely available to everyone.  I managed 
to get them to change the policy on it, so that revenue is purely from 
ads.  But the old ones like this one still require membership. Sorry.
