Maybe something like this (Turbo C):

#include <dir.h>

	int done;
	struct ffblk ffblk;
	char *filespec;

	done = findfirst(filespec,&ffblk,
		FA_RDONLY | FA_HIDDEN | FA_SYSTEM | FA_DIREC | FA_ARCH);

	while (!done)
	{
		/* do whatever... */

		done = findnext(&ffblk);
	}

Leaving out any of the constants FA_... will exclude files with the
corresponding attributes set.
