Looking for a class similar to 'opendir' and 'readdir'

Hello:

I need to write a simple utility which will navigate
several subdirectories and query the file size of
some files.

I am very familiar with the Unix 'opendir' and 'readdir'
functions, and that's what I am looking for, except
that this time I need something for Java, and the
utility will be run on a Windows PC.

Also: has Java been able to come up with a working
'chdir()' (on Windows, that is)? Last time I checked
the C++ chdir function in Windows exists and succeeds
but it is bogus, since doesn't really change the program's
default directory.

TIA,

-Ramon F Herrera
