yes, you are right; I hadn't tested it with other directories, then
_truename gets (null).

The solution is to append the path to the filename before call _truename.

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

struct find_t ffblk;

int main ( int argc, char* argv[] )
{ 
char path[256];
char d[MAXDRIVE], p[MAXDIR], f[MAXFILE], e[MAXEXT];

if ( argc < 2 )
   {
   printf ( "dir -- dir <what>\n" );
   return ( 1 );
   }

printf ( "criteria %s\n", argv[1] );

fnsplit(argv[1], d, p, f, e);

if ( _dos_findfirst( argv[1], _A_NORMAL | _A_RDONLY | _A_HIDDEN | _A_SYSTEM | _A_VOLID | _A_SUBDIR | _A_ARCH, &ffblk) == 0 )
 { 
  printf("%s\n", ffblk.name); 

  while ( _dos_findnext(&ffblk) == 0 ) 
  { 
   sprintf ( path, "%s%s%s",   d, p, ffblk.name );
   printf ( "8.3 NAME = %s\n", ffblk.name );
   printf ( "LFN NAME = %s\n", _truename ( path, NULL ) );
  }
 } 

return ( 0 );
} 


But for an unknown reason ( to me ), you have to write the parameter between quots or it doesn't work,
it must be something like dire "c:\windows\command\*.*", writting it without \" it only takes the first file.

talking about dir programs, I got a dobt.

I made this program that write the parameters from command line:

#include <stdio.h>

void main ( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
printf ( "c %i\n", argc );
for ( int i=0; i<argc; i++ )
    {
    printf ( "%s\n", argv[i] );
    }
}

but try it with something like: "kk c:\windows\command\*.*" ( kk is the .exe ) and it prints the directory. why ?
