What is findclose good for [findfirst- findnext ]

(This applies only to Windows 95/ Windows NT) Every time the function FindFirst is called, a Windows handle is requested. If you do not release this handle using FindClose, you may end up having spent all handles and you cannot access directories anymore. Attention: A known behavior of NT: Calling FindClose after an UNsuccessful FindFirst can hang the system. Only call FindClose if FindFirst was successful.
