Obrigado pela atenção. It will be that the MSDOS goes to finish? I am sad for knowing that Euphoria will not have resources to make a simple work same as it makes the function to dir (), perhaps, with the progress of the Windows platform, more functions will leave to work. But perhaps, either only setings of my XP that is incorrect. This is very probable because our Dbase IV, made in 1993 is working without imperfections. I will be in these days, trying to migrate for .exw. its ideia to create an archive of text with the directory information, certainly goes to work, because in my project this is made accurately in this way, one procedure lists all folders, sub-folders and archives. You it would have an example of as to make this code? Até breve, Sérgio Gelli - Brasil
