`ftw' is fully documented in the DJGPP library reference.  From the
DOS prompt, type "info libc alpha ftw" and read there.

To the best of my knowledge, neither of these two support `ftw'.
`ftw' is included for compatibility with Unix compilers.

However, since the sources of DJGPP's library are free, you could just
download djlsr201.zip and compile the sources of `ftw' with any other
compiler.
