You need some manner of directory access routines such as what Berkeley
UNIX has.  SCO Xenix includes these as standards, Microbug requires you to
get your own.  Fortunately Doug Gwyn posted a set of portable directory
routines which should help you out.  Check your nearest comp.sources.unix
archive site for those files.
