EDR-DOS development (Announce)

I believe that the source of this problem, or a part of it, may be that EDR-DOS's functions 714Eh, 714Fh, and 71A1h do not really allow concurrent searches. It may require some amount of work to fix this.

What happens now is 7-Zip finds a directory, recurses into it, and tries to start a new search. After finishing processing the directory, it closes the Find handle and tries to continue the search of the original working directory. This is corrupted from the recursive search.

Another part is with 7z a ..\t.7z *.* nothing is found, but I believe this is intentional on the part of 7-Zip. (All files and directories in my test directory do not contain dots in their names.) It does mean that you may have mistakenly specified the *.* mask when it should be *. (The DOS functions are documented as finding everything with either, but 7-Zip also applies its own pattern matching.)
