Jim,

I have been working on my NIDS/NOWrad ADDE servers lately updating the
section on generating lists of possible NIDS/NOWrad files.  Some time
ago you sent me a mod for FreeBSD:

FreeBSD:
GLOB_NOCHECK

Other OSes:
GLOB_NOMATCH

I was lacking a check for a read error for the 'glob' function (this
gets set when a directory doesn't exist, for instance).  On Linux and
other OSes, this is specified by GLOB_ABORTED.  What is this on
FreeBSD?

Tom
