Hello,
     I am a MS-DOS programming novice (actually a programming novice in
general) and have some requests regarding the FAT.

I am aware of the physical structure of the FAT from Ray Duncan's
"Advanced MS-DOS Programming" but I have never tried to actually access
it, yet.  The book does an excellent job of describing the FAT and
has an example of accessing via a short assembly routine, but I was 
wondering if someone could point me to a brief C program for something
like building directory trees.  I didn't see anything in the
/mirrors/msdos/c directory at wuarchive.wustl.edu - could someone point me
to some C source/general info on this.  Thanks very much for
any replies.
