btw, to make clear what i mean.... it should always be possible to retrieve a 
filename by readdir, and then opening the file by fopen using the exact string 
returned by readdir. that pretty much rules out any solution that requires to 
specify the drive and/or device number. and it also rules out any solution 
that can not deal with whatever is a valid filename.

There are 10**11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's 
only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call 
them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
