This requires the new directory routines, libndir, which didn't compile under V7's C. Would people who post software to the net please try to make it V7 compatible? Things to avoid are: type `void'. (a `#define void int' can be used with V7). identical names for structure members, unless they have the same offset. global identifiers should be unique in the first 7 characters. ndir.h also used the defined type `u_long', which isn't in V7's.
