I'm using Lattice 'C' 5.04 and I have a problem.

I've written a Zoo2Lzh program that does a list and converts zoo->lzh
through the system() command.  Well anyway, everything goes
well until it hits the WHILE (ExNext(lock,&fi)); command.  When it
hits it, it GURUS with a Disk Corrupt error.  For somereason, if I
change it to (Examine(lock,&fi), the program works, BUT all the old
files have to be READ ALL OVER AGAIN!
 
Do I have to lock the directory again or call another function to a
directory, if I've heavily changed the contents earlier?  Or do I have
to put in a wait cycle or something to allow all the floppy acces to be
done before it gets the next (ExNext(lock,&fi)) entry....
 
Help.
