The C Notes for the C Group column in Amazing Computing has been interesting
for me, a novice C programmer.  The only problem is that the author, Stephen
Kemp, is using a function specific to manx, namely scdir().  You pass it a
string, including wildcards, and it does a directory search and returns the
file pointer of the first file that fits the pattern.  I've been through the
Lattice documentation, and I haven't found anything that matches this.  I'd
appreciate either the name of the function, or a work-around, cause this is
driving me crazy!
