- I am writing several programs that must search large directories
- frequently (it is not uncommon to have close to 2000 entries in one
- directory). Right now, I am using the functions findfirst and findnext,
- and I am wondering if anybody could point me to faster, more efficient
- functions to read directories. The only information I need from the
- directory is the filename and the status of the archive bit.
-
- Thanks for your help.
