     Hi,
     I'm still having problems with finfirst / findnext functions.
     The file names in ffblk.ff_name are broken. Two first letters
     are eaten  ( OMMAND.COM instead of COMMAND.COM).

    Has anybody experienced this before ? 

Is this is C++?  findfirst/findnext is broken in C++ due to the structure
packing bug in gcc.  Try wrapping findfirst/findnext in C functions and call
these from C++ declaring them as "C" in the C++ module.  That should solve the
problem.
