Aspect 3000 programming problem

I'd like to be able to use a small program to look at files on the hard
disk on our AM300 to tell whether or not they have been stored as zero-filled
fid's. The program would then store only the time domain data and throw away
the zeros. Lots of students around store their fid's as zero-filled files in
a very cavalier fashion and it is really eating up disk space.

The real problem, from a programming point of view, is how to look at all
of the files on the disk. In other words, how do you tell the program to look
at (for example) '**.001' or all files ending in extension .001? This is easy
in MSDOS using the findfirst and findnext functions but there are no
equivalents in ADAKOS that I can find.

How can I implement this type function using Pascom and/or Macro?
