I had taken some code from David Fanning and extended it a bit to find
directories and files, DIREXIST and FILEEXISTS, respectively. Both are
available on my website <http://www.irc.chmcc.org/idl/philsIDL.html>.

Both of these did not work quite right in 4.0 under different platforms
(namely Mac and Unix). I think that the problem I was having was fixed
in 5.0. I do have a version that should behave as expected under 4.0.1
that I could also make available.
