- I also have had trouble with this compiler/extender combination. My
- trouble has been with the _dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext functions. With
- the DOS/4GW extender, they work fine. With the PharLap extender, they
- don't work (they return the correct value for the number of files they
- should be finding, but the structure that should contain the file information
- (name, size, etc.) is empty/uninitialized.
-
- I am beginning to suspect that these are genuine bugs rather than
- something I'm doing wrong, since Watcom has not called me back in over a
- week despite the message on their answering machine promising to call me
- back within one business day.
