Subject:	dirent probs.

Anybody know how to implement this code so that it doesn't crash (pointer 
segmentation violation) after the last entry in the directory is printed?
The eventual goal is to create a linked list of DATA items representing all
of the files on a drive (or possibly a tree, haven't decided). I'm new to using
both the dir.h & dirent.h functions, so any help would be appreciated.

#include <dirent.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    typedef struct data{
        struct ffblk ff;
        struct dirent de;
    } DATA;

    DATA *dat;
    struct ffblk f;
    int done;

    done = findfirst("*.*", &f, FA_RDONLY|FA_HIDDEN|FA_SYSTEM|FA_LABEL|
        FA_DIREC|FA_ARCH);
    while (!done) {
        dat->ff = f; 
        printf("%d  %s    %c\n", done, dat->ff.ff_name, dat->ff.ff_attrib);
        done = findnext(&f);
    } 
}
