			 the "opendir()" is used much like "fopen()"
			 and the "readdir()" call can be used to read
			 inode and file names into a struct of type DIR
			 until the readdir returns NULL.  Check the 
			 Programmer's reference.

	System V  -- similar to BSD, but you may have to investigate the
		       "dirent.h" header as well.

	Hope this helps.
