Hello Tim,

use the _truename ( ... ) function to get LFN from a 8.3 name.

main()
{
 if ( _dos_findfirst("*.*", _A_NORMAL, &ffblk) == 0 )
 {
  printf("%s\n", ffblk.name);
  while ( _dos_findnext(&ffblk) == 0 )
  {
   printf("8.3 NAME = %s\n", ffblk.name);
   printf ( "LFN NAME = %s\n", _truename(ffblk.name, NULL) );
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  }
 }
}

you need windows9x to use this.

    Sorry there, just noticed I posted some old bad code.
    Here's the good code:

    /* Simple DIR program */

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <dos.h>

    struct find_t ffblk;

    main()


     if ( _dos_findfirst("*.*", _A_NORMAL, &ffblk) == 0 )


      printf("%s\n", ffblk.name);
      while ( _dos_findnext(&ffblk) == 0 )


       printf("%s\n", ffblk.name);
      }
     }
    }

    Please, any information on how to get this code to output long file
names when running off Win95 would be appreciated.
