        BYVAL P2s AS INTEGER,_
        BYVAL P2o AS INTEGER,_
        SEG P3 AS INTEGER)

DIM dirp AS STRING*80

DEFINT a-z

dpl=80
number=0

x=DosQCurDir%(number,varseg(dirp),varptr(dirp),dpl)

IF (x) THEN
  Print "An error occurred.  The number is : ";x
ELSE
  dr$=left$(dirp,instr(1,dirp,chr$(0)))
