The uupc sources implement the UNIX independent directory manipulation
functions (opendir, readdir, closedir, etc.) I'm not sure as to their
status for inclusion in other works but they WERE published on the net.
If I don't get any mail telling me not to, I'll email the relevant bits
to the requestor - this is posted to the net in case the request is of
general interest.

ps uupc v2.0 unofficial upgrade for THINK LSC4.0 has been posted to
   comp.binaries.mac - it may appear soon.
