Say, does anyone have any idea why:

   ffblk _ffblk;
   int result = findfirst("*.PPM",&_ffblk,FA_ARCH | FA_RDONLY |
FA_HIDDEN | FA_SYSTEM);
   while(!result) {
      colours(_ffblk.ff_name);
      result = findnext(&_ffblk);
      ah.sprites++;
   }

and

   find_t _ffblk;
   wh.length = 0;
   int result = _dos_findfirst("*.RES",_A_ARCH | _A_RDONLY,&_ffblk);
   while(!result) {
      puts(_ffblk.name);
      wh.length++;
      result = _dos_findnext(&_ffblk);
   }

/BOTH/ give filenames with the first two characters missing???

IE, a directory containing

CTREE.RES
SM_FONT.RES


causes the second snippet to print:

REE.RES
_FONT.RES


>HELP!<


The same code worked fine in DJGPP v1.x, but fails in the latest v2
from SimTel...

Thanx,
