     I think that there are functions (packtime and unpacktime or something
like that) to do this.  I don't have my compiler in front of me now, but go
into the help mode, Header files, Dir.H, and then go to findfirst or
find/next.  If it is not in that help section, look under DOS.H.  If you
would post the proper answer, I would appreciate it.  (I program in Pascal
more often...)
