I am new to OS9 and need some information on reading OS9 directorys. I am
getting ready to write a utility for my OS9 BBS (George's
 Dewdrop Inn) and need to know the formula for converting information taken
from reading the directory into a 'dir e' type thing. There is a program called
DSORT.B09 in the dloads that reads the directory and sorts it from opening a
dir path. When looking at the varibles (printing them) I see alot of 'garbage'
characters. My question is, How do I convert each record into something
readable? The program sets up the records using 'TYPE' and the LSN varibles.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks George
