This is not a bug in TC, but the way DOS handles findfirst() and findnext(). DOS always returns plain files, *plus* the files that matches the given attribute. This is the way find..() works in other languages, so it can't be changed in TC. The _Turbo_C_Bible_ is probably inaccurate here. You will always have to check the attribute (0 = plain file). -- _ Asbjoern Stoeen / \ /___ Studpost 188 /___\ // 7034 Trondheim-NTH / \ / \__ Norway / \ (stoeen@solan.unit.no) / ___/
