Why not use my win_dir() routine? It's written from scratch using the
Windows API, so it shouldn't have any "bugs" - and a directory must
end in a backslash for it to return files, otherwise it returns
information about the directory itself. And it a directory contains no
files, it returns an empty sequence, but an error (atom) if the
directory does not exist.

Perhaps, Rob, you could implement my win_dir() routine in the WIN32 Interpr=
eter?
