NtDir / NtDirX on CDs/DVDs versus Harddisks
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 8:10 am
Re: WinXP Pro + Dyalog 12.1, Classic Version: 12.1.1.6592
( not latest patch )
I just discovered that NtDir or NtDirX is not able to retrieve directory structures or files from CDs/DVDs ; whereas accessing a Harddisk partition works as expected of course.
The function reverts to retrieving the User-Root directory ( "Dyalog12" for example ) instead of the CD/DVD partition .
The lefthand-argument ( a 32 column boolean matrix of attribute bits ) is set to 32 "1"s - by default - and doesn't seem to contain any values that might suggest a solution ( or problem ).
Does anyone know of a solution to get around this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Problem solved : Just found the Topic "WS DOSUTILS" , and the WS called FILES
