Hi:  I don't know the internals of these functions so I have two questions:
- Does the path pointer I pass to findfirst() must stay valid until I finish
my all work with it using fnidnext() ?
- Is it safe calling findfirst() & co. multiple times, i.e. something like:
void func1 (const char *arg)
{
  struct ffblk f;
  findfirst(arg, &f);
  ...
}
void func2 ()
{
  struct ffblk f;
  if (findfirst(somepath, &f) == 0)
    func1(f.ff_name);
  ...
}

Thanks.
