There is a win32 API function that will pull the directory structure and place
it in a listbox.
SendMessage(hwndList, LB_DIR, iAttr, (LPARAM) szFileSpec);
Take a look in the files included in windows.h to see how this calls basic
C syntax to gather the directory/file information and use it in the win32 version
of the dynamic boards....

Sorry - I haven't access to a working windows 95 machine with a
compiler that will work with circle mud (Ie, too lazy to set it up). On
the other hand, I do have a wealth of information about the dirent.h
header that was included. I included it so I could use the scandir
function. Its only used once, and it creates a simple structure filled
with all the directory data (in this case, the board directory). All you
really need to do is find a windows function which will get the name of
all the files in a directory, and then if the name is a number (like 1024
or 1201) run the create_new_board() function with that number as an
argument. You may want to use readdir() which i think is on your system,
and performs a similar function.
