Several recent positing in comp.sources.unix -- ren, sls and man to
be exact, call functions like opendir, readdir, scandir, etc., which
I believe are BSD functions. I don't know what to do about these on
SYSV.
I have an include file, ndir.h, which seems to define things that these
functions use, but I have no corresponding functions in any of my
libraries.
Has anybody put together anything I could drop in in place of these?
If so, could you send a copy or, even better, post it so all the other
SYSV users can take advantage of it?

If you didn't get it, ask the person who did. It may have come with a version of the directory library for the V7/S5 file system. >Has anybody put together anything I could drop in in place of these? Several people have: Kirk McKusick of Berkeley and Doug Gwyn of Ballistic Research Laboratories are two who come to mind. Both versions have been posted to USENET in the past; I think Doug's is in one of the "comp.sources.*" archives (although I don't know if that's the latest version or not). >If so, could you send a copy or, even better, post it so all the other >SYSV users can take advantage of it? Some of the other System V users, anyway. System V Release 3.x users don't have any need for it - S5R3 has a version of the POSIX directory library, which is basically the same as the BSD one except for a couple of name changes to avoid collisions.
