If you mean you need to do this from your program, use library functions 
findfirst/findnext or opendir/readdir.  They are described in the library 
reference docs.

If you need to do that from the DOS command line, the best tool is the 
GNU find program, available in the Findutils package (v2gnu/find41b.zip 
from the same place you get DJGPP).
