Hi!

Can someone tell me ( docs, faqs, sources ) how to get real name
of the file created under w95 ( instead of XXXXX~1.XXX )? 
I mean file with long name ( fe: 'PleaseHelp.question' ) 
under plain dos ( 7.0 ), or windows95 using djgpp. 
I think, there is NO such function in standart library,
and I suppose there is know easy way to get it calling some ints,
but IT MUST be possible to read long filenames.
	I want to add this feature to my program ( file manager ).
I have already checked 'findfirst' functions, and they are working
only with 8.3 .
If anyone has some ideas, please respond.
