The original TurboPascal 6.0 Book sais
FindFirst can return 0 - no Error, 2 - Directory not found, 18 - no
more files.

"Directory not found" wouldn't make any sense, because I just search in
the root directory.

Another Book I have calls Error code 2 "file or directory not found".
Well, that would make sense, but still it's incompatible with MS-DOS'
behaviour.

I think, when a wrong Path is used for searching. But I didn't find
that in a book.
