i do :) then again (as far as nitpicking goes =P) DOS doesnt have 
opendir/readdir at all, it uses findfirst/findnext which work differently (and 
which would only return files and directories unless other attributes are 
specifically requested, afair).

however, again afair (i am just too lazy to look up the manpage right now 
hehe), there are (somewhat "standard") extensions to the direntry and/or DIR 
struct that let opendir/readdir return the metadata required to properly deal 
with volume names, subdirectories etc.
