One the same subject, how can an application tell what files reside on a disk?
Even CP/M-80 allowed you to open with "ambigous file references" (wildcards),
but it seems that Mac programmers must read the disk directory.

Is there a better way to find out what's on a disk?

Will anyone post a sample source program that does this?
