Shucks everybody... I think that its great that the hornet's nest that I stirred up might mean that a new unit of container classes gets written. I didn't think that my seemingly simple problem would create such a cascade of interest. Lists are catalysts for invention!
My trouble remains that I seem unable to devise or use canned routines to get the names of all the files on my drive. Just writing them out to con: in a console application would be acceptable to me to get me started. TurboPower's technique in their SysTools seemed simple enough but I seem to have created a monster. Does somebody have something in source that they'd share with this poor guy, please?

It's a dynamic double linked list - and the way its set up - there are three versions - the simple tracks just pointers, the next has name, value and Description ansistrings and I make pretty huge lists with it, and it has Append, insert, findfirst, findnext, etc. I have an unofficial release on www.jegas.org and you need to use the compile switch that allows += construct. Fpc -Sc yourprogram.pas Worth a shot. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
