To all of the netland MSDOS guru,
As I am reading MSC 5.0 run-time library reference, I run into this 
structure.  Could anybody clarify what is in the field of this structure ?
I know it said "Reserved for use by MS-DOS".  But, I guess I am kinda 
curious if there is any info in this field that I can use.
Follow is the structure                 |     
                                        |
                                        |
MSC 5.0 ( run-time library reference )  |
                                        |
                                        |
...                                     |
struct find_t {                         |
       char reserved[21];     <---------|
       char attrib;
       unsigned wr_time;
       unsigned wr_date;
       long size;
       char name[13];
} *buffer;


Thanks a bunch,
