Well, it was easy. ;)

I noticed you used the findfirst() function which is Borland specific. And
indeed it compiled unaltered on Borland C++ 6, with just one warning...

But I had to fix a few things to make it work as a 32 bit program. Here it is:

With the changed source and the Borland project files included.

 PQ> Thanks for looking at it, Wilfred.  Laugh if you get the urge.

Well, laughing no, weeping yes. ;)

 PQ> You may then understand why I no longer do any such programming.

I could tell you weren't experienced in C... But you made it work.

Bye, Wilfred.
