I just looked that over......it seems pretty complicated. As an alternative,
you could open a DOS window and do a dir command and redirect it to a text
file which you could later print. Of course, due to the DOS filename limitation
any filenames over the 8.3 limit would be truncated with the ~1 However, if that's
not a problem, here's an example of how to redirect a dir command to a text
file: dir /b > c:\dirlist.txt This will show you the listing in "bare"
format (the /b switch - this shows filenames only) and redirects (the 'greater than'
symbol between the /b and 'dirlist.txt') it to a file called "dirlist.txt" on the
root of your C: drive. If you did this in a DOS window while running 98, you could
then exit the DOS window and open the file with notepad or wordpad and print it.
