Another way to get at the directory is to use the interupts to get at the 
files.  All DOS wildcards then apply for the user, which is nice.  You can 
access the time and date (in addition to the file name, of course).  If you 
want more info on this technique, let me know.  Using the interupts to get at 
a directory is also much faster than shelling.

If anyone wants some good info on this, try FTPing to SIMTEL20 (or one of
it's mirrors) and get the file qbnws101.arc. This is the first edition
of the Quick Basic Newsletter.  It contains a discussion of this technique
and a sample section of code.
