[comp.os.msdos.programmer] re : DOS dir command - how does it work

dbearly@vax1.tcd.ie (11/27/90)

Several programs I have written recently in TC use the findfirst/findnext
commands to locate directories and recurse the disk directory tree using
these functions. I would like to know how programs such as NORTONs ff
(find file ) seem to recurse the directory tree extremely quickly.
Anyone know how they do it??
