Hi
I found Differences for findfile:
On idl4.0.1 for PC I got with print,findfile('*.*') all directories too.
They are separated with a \ from the files.
This is fine, because than it's very easy to write a function to find
only the directories.
The same idl function for unix did not separate the directory names from
the filenames.
In pickfile there is for unix a spawn command used to get the
directories, that's the reason while it's slow.
Did someone have a true idl function for unix without spawn to get the
directories or is this problem fixed in idl5.0

Hi,
I got the information from J.-U. Grooss to use instead of the ls spawn
command, findfile with this syntax.
dirs=findfile('-Fd *')
It is possible to set all ls commands in the brackets of findfile.
regards

I only have UNIX (SGI, Sun, Linux) and macs here. Therefore, all of my
code is tested for these platforms. I probable should make some comment
about that on my webpage...

Could you send me the changes and I'll add them to my code w/ credit of
course.

It was more a programming practice (that and fileexists) and it seemed
useful to me at the time so I mamde it available. Take it or leave it.

I took this direxist some weeks ago and was disappointed:
it didn`t work over VMS-Clusters and seems to fail sometimes over NFS
mounted systems...
I rewrote the direxist to be able to all this now...
Its wierd and a three to four pages long program to say: YES or NO!
