Gotcha. I seem to recall some discussion in the archives about problems with using recursion to walk the directory structure under OS 9 - presumably because of the fixed memory partition under Classic. An iterative approach would seem to be more memory efficient. I don't know about speed. Would
you agree?

Stackless is faster, if you need it faster.

But it can be done slower if you want more flexible code.
