Summary

This is a simple file viewer. This program gives a quick example of how to view a file in a directory. The program will display all the files of the current working directory to the screen and give you count on how many there are. This uses the standard DGK C++.

Full Description

Note: This works well for a XP OS, I have heard of some Windows 7 OS issues when dealing with permissions to read directories.

// If you want to get rid of the "source directory" the ".." at slot 0 use another dbFindNext()

// I find it usefull for file detection.

// return back to windows
