                DOSDIR: A Portable UNIX/DOS Directory Interface
                                version 2.0
                -----------------------------------------------

DOSDIR is an implementation of the Turbo C directory functions (findfirst,
findnext, and fnsplit) on MS-DOS, UNIX and VMS platforms using the appropriate
file & directory structure.

It uses the DOS directory framework to provide a portable interface
for MS-DOS/UNIX/VMS application programmers.  DOSDIR minimizes the OS-
specific directory access code for applications allowing programmers to
concentrate on the application itself and not on the low-level directory
and file structure.  DOSDIR applications will run on their native operating
systems with the appropriate file syntax and handling, which is expected
for that platform.

The package includes the following files:

        dosdir.c      - DOSDIR findfirst/findnext functions for UNIX
        fnsplit.c     - C/C++ Run Time Library function (for MS-DOS/Unix)
        match.c       - Mark Adler's regular expression evaluator
        *.h           - DOSDIR header files
	filelist.c    - Example program using dosdir directory functions
	example2.c    - Another example program
	makefile.bor  - Makefile for MS-DOS with Borland C++
	makefile.unx  - Makefile for UNIX with gcc
	vaxmake.com   - Script to compile examples for VAX/VMS

DOSDIR supports MS-DOS with Borland C++ or Turbo C, Sun with GNU C compiler,
DEC Alpha (OSF-1) C, VAX/VMS C, and other comparable ANSI C compilers.
