- I was led to believe that the names of the files in a directory are
- stored within the directory file itself. But if this is truely the case,
- then why is a listing of that directory with the "QUICK" option hardly any
- quicker than without?
-
- I'd like to use the ExAll function, but I'm not savy on how large a
- buffer to supply. Ideally, the buffer would only be as large as need be. So
- for instance, if I were interested in only obtaining the names contained in
- a directory would fib_Size reflect at least how large that buffer needed to
- be?
-
- Any help much appreciated.
