AMIGADOG PROBLEM
----------------


  I am trying to whip up a simple directory display program and want to
be able to detect when the last file has been displayed.   According
to the manual  which is INCORRECT and INACCURATE (Thank you, MetaCompco,
take a bow),  I quote from page 2-5 of the developers DOS (dog?) 
manual:


"ExNext gives a return code of zero if it fails for some reason.   One
 reason for failure is reaching the last entry of the directory.  However,
 IoErr() holds a code that may give more information on the exact cause of
 a failure.   WHEN ExNext FINISHES AFTER THE LAST ENTRY, IT RETURNS:
 ERROR_NO_MORE_ENTRIES (232)".   

FLAME ON:

 BULL BULL AND MORE BULL PILED HIGHER AND
 DEEPER!!

  Nothing can be further from the truth.   After EACH AND EVERY ExNext call
I get the ERROR_NO_MORE_ENTRIES returned values.

FLAME OFF:

  If anyone from Amiga cares to comment on this,  I would appreciate an
answer.   This is not only MY problem,  but a dozen other programmers from
the Programmers Net also would like the answers.
