This is DirDialog V1.0. (C) 1994 by Ralf G. R. Bergs

Purpose:
========
DirDialg() is a dialog similar to the system file dialog. In contrast
to the latter it is NOT used to select individual files, but a directory
from a list.
"Foreword:"
===========
This is one of the first little programs I created with VX-REXX (in
fact, created with REXX at all). Therefore please be gentle with me. ;-)
Of course, comments, suggestions (especially how to improve the speed
of the "VRDir" stuff used to fill the directory list with directory
names), bug reports (or even patches!) are highly appreciated.
I used VX-REXX version 2.0 patchlevel B to develop this, but I guess it
could work with 1.x too. (If someone verifies this, please TELL ME
about it!)
There's a little "demo program" that runs "DirDialog" and displays
the selected directory on exit in a console window. To run DEMO.EXE,
you need the VX-REXX runtime library VROBJ.DLL.
* BTW, "DirDialog" is postcard-ware. If you use it in an application that *
* is NOT only used by yourself (i.e. if you distribute it to others), *
* you MUST register it. To register, please send me a postcard of your *
* home town, or my lawyers will sue you. (Nah, just kiddin' ;-) *
Installation:
============
To install, just add the line
VRX: DirDialg.VRX
to your projects .VRP file, below the other "VRX:" lines. That's all!
Usage:
=====
dir = DirDialg( VRWindow(), caption, startdir )
caption: the dialog window's title (default: "Select a directory")
startdir: the directory initially displayed when you call DirDialg()
(default: the current working directory at the time your
application was started)
dir: either a directory you selected or "" if you pressed
"Cancel."
