I just checked and you are right, findclose was added with C++ Builder, the 
successor to Borland C++.  I guess my memories from seven years ago when 
Borland C++ was the current compiler are a little foggy.

FindClose is a Windows API function which is used with two other Windows API 
functions, FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

findclose was added to correct a leak in 32 bit Windows programs that occurs 
because the search handle has not been closed.  While it does call FindClose 
it also does some other things with the list of internal structures 
maintained by findfirst and findnext and is not trivial so it is not 
practical to feed you an equivalent set of code to create a findclose for 
your compiler.
