For completeness:
-----------------
I received help on the Embarcadero forum which is back on-line, and
the following command does what I need:

FTP.List('CVS*.zip', false);

The first argument is a file name specifier string including wildcard
* and the second is a flag to supply full information (true) or only
the file names (false).
With this in place my utility works and the code is now much cleaner.
