It seems like more and more often when I get software off the net
which does directory reading, I have to hack it up to get it running.
I'm using the Gwyn directory package layered on top of a system V.1
(UNIX-PC, actually). Did POSIX change after Doug's stuff came out
and everybody but me upgrade? Or am I just bumping into old BSD
stuff?

Doug's package is POSIX-compatible; POSIX changed things from the way they were in BSD, to avoid some namespace collisions. The main differences are in: 1) the include file names - <sys/dir.h> became <dirent.h> and 2) the structure name - "struct direct" became "struct dirent".
