Disposition: 9-5-84.  These were actually two somewhat unrelated problems.  The first, that *''s don''t work right sometimes, I had never observed, and the failure examples you gave all work the way they''re supposed to.  I suppose that I must have inadvertently fixed whatever problem there was there in my rework of unsorted directory enumeration in July.  The second problem, that of \SEARCHDIR1, I fixed before the Carol release.  The problem there was that I depended on parts of mod44io which were changing.  I think I have removed all dependencies on mod44io.  -- Tayloe.'

FILDIR and its cousins do not work correctly on the DLion local disk.  I''m not sure how to characterize their behavior, execept to say that FILDIR often does not find files that are actually there.  An example is the following interaction':'
'
←(FILDIR (QUOTE *.NOTEFILE))'
({DSK}TEST.NOTEFILE;1 {DSK}TEST.NOTEFILE;2)'
'
←(FILDIR (QUOTE TEST.*))'
NIL'
'
Note that the second call to FILDIR should have returned AT LEAST the same files that the first call did - instead it returned NIL.'
'
The same scenario on a Dorado seems to work fine.'

FILDIR is broken on <lispcore>next>lisp.sysout but NOT on <lispnew>current>lisp.sysout.  Problem seems to be in \SEARCHDIR1 in MOD44IO which seems to have changed recently - in particular \SEARCHDIR1 now expects a list of characters and the DLionFS is sending it a list of uppercase-lowercase character pairs.'
