You need a recursive traversal through all the directories.
Here you should use findfirst() and findnext() plus two subroutines that
save and restore searching state of findfirst() and findnext(). These 2
additional functions simply saves and restores DTA (refer to HelpPC 2.10
or TechHelp 6 or Ralf Brown's Int List).


Good Luck
