Yes, I've seen that. What I'm saying is that you can combine `readdir' with `stat' in one API call (FindFirstFile/FindNextFile), which will both read the directory and return you the attributes you get from `stat'. Think about `readdir' that brings you mode bits and modification time together with the name, as some modern systems do.
