Subject: How do I open() DOS directories?

I am writing a C program which needs to open a DOS sub-directory for both
reading and writing.  I am using MS-C 5.1.  Whenever I try to open
a sub-directory (whether for reading only or read/write) it always fails
with errno set to "permission denied".  These sub-directories had just 
been created by myself and a stat() prior to the open() showed that
I had read/write permission.  Is this just not allowed?!?!?  Are there
any lib. functions that I am overlooking that are used to open/modify
directories?

Thanks in advance for any help.
