I need to display a directory listing from within a Fortran program, and
the best way to do this seems to be via an assembler routine, possibly
one which invokes COMMAND.COM.  All I need to do is pass the routine an
extension and have a display of all files in the current directory with
that extension -- format is not too critical (a GEM style file selector
would be super, but not essential).  The equivalent DOS command would be
DIR *.EXT, or DIR *.%EXT% in batch language.  I've heard of undocumented
functions that do this, but don't now them.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
