Try the User's Guide page of DJ Delorie's server
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ug/).

Use `findfirst'.

You need to install a TSR that supports the special LFN API used by
DJGPP library functions to access long file names.  One such TSR is
mentioned in the DJGPP FAQ list (see section 3.3).

Why can't you use a DOS box on top of Windows?  Why do you need to go
to the DOS mode?  Staying on Windows would give you long file names
automatically.
