First, please don't post in HTML, it makes it very hard to read.

Don't use the _dos_... variety of functions, they don't support long
file names (this is explained in the docs, if you are using DJGPP
v2.02).  For every _dos_... function there's a library function with a
similar name, but without the "_dos_" part, which does support long
file names; use that one instead.  For example, instead of
_dos_findfirst and _dos_findnext use findfirst and findnext.

The _dos_... functions exists only for compatibility with the MSC
compiler, so they don't support long file names on purpose.
