    dos.h in VC++

    Hi

    I am using Visual C++ 6.0 and want to use a function something similar to Borland's findfirst() which requires dos.h. But there is no dos.h in VC++ so i need a function that can perform the same task!

    Thanks...

    I think that findfirst uses int 21/ah 4eh (ralf brown sez so). I believe you're gonna want to bump yourself up to 32 bit protected and check out the WinAPI's ::FindFirstFile(..)

    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.
