[open-cobol-list] C$LIST-DIRECTORY requires 'USAGE HANDLE'

[Joakim Jalap]

First of all sorry if I have completely misunderstood this, I don't wish
to waste anybody's time.

But it seems I hit a little snag while looking in to the
C$LIST-DIRECTORY-request. The API for that function requires a variable
with USAGE HANDLE, but if I understand correctly GNU Cobol does not yet
have that. There is a wishlist item #77 about it.

Implementing that seems like a much more difficult job than implementing
C$LIST-DIRECTORY, since I guess it requires changes to the actual
compiler in a lot of places. So is there any point for a noob like
myself to have a go at it? I would require quite a lot of help, but I'm
willing to give it a try :)

Best,
Joakim
