Use the regular findfirst() and findnext() functions instead. The
_dos_findfirst() function is just a raw DOS call, so it doesn't support
any niceties like long filenames. I presume this function is included
for compatibility with other DOS compilers, since it is located in the
src/libc/dos/compat/ directory, but I can't see any reason why you would
need to use it.
