systutils, so having documentation that includes the differences
between the versions would be helpful.
Turbo Pascal (for DOS) didn't have a FindClose function, as
"officially", this would not be necessary on DOS. On all other OS,
including Windows, for many, many years (I first stumbled about
missing "FindClose" call in OS/2 some time in the early '90s) and got
used to *alway**s* terminate a file search with it, even if it is in
the case of DOS just a dummy routine that just returns without doing
nothing. Saves a lot of headaches trying to find the source of
apparent memory leaks in larger applications that do a lot of of file
searches...
Note that afaik Long File Name supporting versions of the Dos unit with
Turbo Pascal did have findclose, as afaik the LFN apis required it too.
