1. walkdir in reverse?
hi all,
i had been using Dir95 to create a list of files i could access in
reverse order. walkdir doesn't seem to allow traversing the files in
reverse order so i don't use it.
i would first create the list with Dir95 then read it in reverse order.
sometimes i use the file info too,also use it to check existence of
files/directorys.
but now in trying to convert to windows code, Dir95 error occurs with
allocate_low.
i am still trying to learn windows, using winlib,ide15,eugrid,edsgui and
ewingui.
my mind is stuck in the days of flowcharts,psuedocode,non-event coding.
creating dos functions first, then linking buttons to the functions to
create a visual front end is originally what i wanted.
staying away from 'c' and winapi code too.
keep up the good works ,everyone.

Yeah, take a look at Euman's Dir( ) routine
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/dir232.zip
or,
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/effm.zip
to actually see the code in action....
If you need help making it work for you let me know.
Uses some API code to function but can easily be made
to use the built-in dir( )

You can change the sorting order by setting the
global variable my_dir. See the manual for walk_dir()
and look at file.e.

The concept of "low" memory is purely a DOS thing.
On Windows, use allocate().
Neither allocate_low() nor DOS interrupts are
supported by Euphoria for Windows.
