Hi everyone!

I need code for a file selection function using DJGPP and conio.h. It
should display a window for selecting a file. Its prototype should be
something like this:

char *fselect(char *startpath,char *ext, int x1, int y1)

where:
startpath=the name of the path to start with
ext=the standard extensiin for filenames
x1,y1=coordinates of the upper left corner of the window.

Return value=the name of the file selected (full path) or NULL if user
cancelled the operation.

No mouse support needed. It should work also in text mode 80x50.

I'd use some windowing library (maybe TurboVision or SWORD) if I knew
a bit of C++. But, I don't have had time to learn it.

Thank you for help.

Sorry for my poor english.
