Re: [AD] [TODO] About findfirst

["Matthew Smith" <matt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the project I am going to submit to Sourceforge pending approval
from D.J.Delorie.

Can anyone see how this could interfere with the resolution of this problem
for Allegro 4?

And would the writers of the existing emulations be prepared to see them go
into an LGPL project?

1. Project Full Name
DJGPP Suitcase

2. Project Purpose and Summarization
This project is intended to port key parts of the DJGPP library which are
not POSIX compliant.  The aim is to allow programs developed primarily for
DJGPP and DOS to be supported in other operating systems.

The primary goals are:-

a) To support the filefirst() filenext() and fileclose() functions
with the ffblk structure filled to the best of each O/Ses ability.

b) The extra string functions which are not POSIX compliant, yet depended on
by many, would be packaged for other compilers.

The O/Ses these functions would be supported for would be in the first place
those supported by the Allegro games library. namely

Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, BeOS, and MacOS
