Where did you get "ndir.h" from?  If you didn't get it, ask the person
who did.  It may have come with a version of the directory library for
the V7/S5 file system.

Several people have: Kirk McKusick of Berkeley and Doug Gwyn of
Ballistic Research Laboratories are two who come to mind.  Both versions
have been posted to USENET in the past; I think Doug's is in one of the
"comp.sources.*" archives (although I don't know if that's the latest
version or not).

Some of the other System V users, anyway.  System V Release 3.x users
don't have any need for it - S5R3 has a version of the POSIX directory
library, which is basically the same as the BSD one except for a couple
of name changes to avoid collisions.
