[comp.sys.apollo] Apollo Name Module

   In regards to the Apollo procedure Name_$read_dir_lc, how do you retrieve
the entry names from the type Name_$buf_t?  I'm trying to update a program
that uses Name_$read_dir to be compatible with 10.X.

   The program works fine under SR9.7, but the case sensitivity of 10.X is
causing problems.

   Thanks in advance,

I would highly recommend that you not use name_$read_dir_lc, and use the
Unix/C opendir/readdir instead.  That way your program is more likely to
work with extended naming.  If you can't stomach the Unix call, use
ios_dir_$readdir.
