    In DOS, you don't need one.  You can just shell to DOS and
 direct the output of a directory request to a text file.  You
 can do that in C also, of course.  I don't know if any of the
 ?NIX systems have a similar ability, but I would imagine so.
 In a Windows environment, there are standard API calls and
 dialogs for directory functions.  I have written directory
 functions for both C and for QB, just for the sake of doing it.
 It is an educational experience.  The dirlist.bas source is on
 my web page yet.  The C source I wanted to examine and clean up
 before posting, so none of it is on my page, unfortunately,
 beyond a slightly defective vesa mouse cursor routine.
