LA>> The DOS support in OS/2 does appear to use a badly written

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

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?
