Ok - I need some help in the following Turbo C program. All I want to
do is a directory and save the filenames away to be played with later on.
Here it is. Thanks in advanced.
What happens is "file_list" contains garbage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dir.h>
#define FILE_LEN 13
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
int i;
int done;
int count;
char pattern[80];
char file_list[FILE_LEN*50];
struct ffblk fcb;
if (argc != 2)
strcpy(pattern, "*.*");
else
strcpy(pattern, argv[1]);
count = 0;
done = findfirst(pattern, &fcb, 0);
while (!done) {
strncat( &file_list[count*FILE_LEN],
fcb.ff_name,
FILE_LEN );
++count;
done = findnext(&fcb);
} /* End while */
printf("count: %d\n", count);
for (i=0; i<count; ++i)
printf("%d %s\n", i*FILE_LEN, file_list[i*FILE_LEN]);
} /* End */

I am not an authority, and am only slightly familiar with C, but I also had some problems with directory listings when attempting such (in Turbo Pascal). The item I see missing from your code (and maybe it is in dir.h or somewhere else) is the DOS function 1A "set dta address" before the call to findfirst. At least, that was my problem. I was defining the structure for findfirst to put its information in, but being a novice programmer, was not aware that I had to tell DOS explicitly through a separate function call as to just where the data should be put, and thus was experiencing garbage.

I didn't see the original code, but in Turbo C, you do not have to explicitly set the dta address prior to calling findfirst. This is handled automatically. I have used this routine, along with findnext several times without problems. Rod Rebello ...!intelca!mipos3!cpocd2!rod

I believe his problem was not in his use of findfirst/findnext but in his loop to print out the filenames... He was missing the '&' address-of operator before his array reference to printf. -- ---- Patrick Bennett UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo}!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!null

A friend purchased Framework III (lan version) and then purchased Vianet running off of Starlan cards. After installing the network he then discovered that his FrameWork III (LAN VERSION!) did not run because he didn't have enough memory. He has only found 1 network running FrameWork III (lan version), which is Novell. At the time the person that demonstrated the network, said that he would need to buy a dedicated server. I have found since then that Novel does have a version of their network that doesn't require a dedicated server. I need more information on this! System setup: 386 Compaq (3 megs of Extended memory, wierd?) Epson Equity III+ Needs: Connect the two machines to share data and still run FrameWork Questions: 1. Can he keep the Vianet Network and still make FrameWork III work with his setup? (maybe he did something wrong in setting up Vianet?) 2. Would Novell's non-dedicated fileserver Network run FrameWork III? (where could I get information on their network). 3. IS there any other network that could do this??? -- To live is to die, to die is to live forever; GRegg Thompson Where will you spend eternity? greggt@vax1.cc.uakron.edu

Recently, I downloaded a "disk utility" from the OMTI bulletin board in Mountain View, CA. The utility is named "HDTEST" and was written by Jim Bracking. It is supposed to provide information on disk performance, which includes interleave optimization. It also can do a low level drive format. I ran this utility on several computers without problems, and was delighted with the speed improvement resulting from optimized interleave. HOWEVER, when I ran it on my HOME machine, both 40MB drives suffered what appears to be damage to track zero, the boot track. The symptom is that when the machine is booted, DOS notes that the boot sector is bad and thereafter refuses to "cd" to either drive C: or D:. (Drive D: has an extended partition, Drive E:) System is DOS 3.30. The hardware is ok, as other disk utilities perform verification without error. Facing 80MB of data with now way to access it is, to say the least, a chief factor in my now elevated blood pressure. I do have a backup, so please, no lectures. I would like to avoid the tedium of restoring the disk from floppies and would like to learn something from this mishap. Therefore, I would like to hear from anyone who knows what goes on in the boot sector and particularly from anyone who either has or has access to, a utility prog which can restore or at least allow me to edit track zero. Norton utilities V3.0 are particularly useless, since they allow editing only of a disk which DOS recognizes as valid. Since DOS does not recognize mine in their current state, Norton won't do the job. Please e-mail answers to me at the address below, rather than posting to the net. Telephone calls are welcome. If there is sufficient interest or technical information, I will be happy to post a summary once my problem is resolved one way or the other. Thanks in advance for not lecturing. I hope to learn something great. Mark Guidotti Teradyne, Inc. 408-434-0822 ........sun!teraida!certes!mark
