That's why I am asking groepaz, as he is the only one of the active VICE member of whom I know that he is on this ML here. > > Did you change the format of the label files? > > No. The files are actually read without errors.

Now, when readdir() is called, check if the flag is set. If it is not, do as readdir() is implemented currently. If it is set, however, perform a seekdir() to the current offset. Does this make sense? Of course, all the "interesting" functions would have to be sorted out. Additionally, there is still the risk that someone uses kernal routines directly, thus, the flag may be wrong. Thus, the "flag setting" function should be exported, too. Would this be an option?
