You haven't told us yet what you want to make.  For a pure OS/2 program
(compile with -Zomf -Zsys), you can use the system calls (DosFindFirst()
ea.) from , for something more portable (recompiles in other
POSIX environments), use opendir() ea. from .  For easiest
use, have a look at the EMX-specific _fnexplode()/_fnexplodefree()
functions from .  Look it up in doc\libref.doc (or
book\libref.inf).

 JB> Ok. here is a code snippet:

char**ticklist=_fnexplode("*.tic");

Don't forget to free the list when you're done with it.
