Anybody interested in a unit that I put together that implements the the
stuff in Dos unit with TP 5.0 that are unavailable in the Dos unit with
TP 4.0 ? At present I don't have the same stuff for 3.0, but it
shouldn't be too hard to implement them. If I do get them working for
3.0, anybody interested ?
BTW, I should warn some people that my implementation of FSplit doesn't
behave the same way that the TP 5.0 version does. Mine treats the
forward-slash ('/') the same way that it treats the backward-slash ('\')
character and doesn't change them. The TP 5.0 version will cause a
backward-slash to appear after each occurrance of a forward-slash
character. I didn't discover this until I noticed that a program using
the FSplit function worked when compiled under TP 4.0 but not under TP
5.0. I don't know if the same thing happens in TP 5.5.
