Use DosFindFirst2 instead of DosFindFirst.  Also link the application
with a Module Definition File (.DEF) which contain the NAME line.  The
format of the NAME line is as follows:

NAME [appname] [apptype] [NEWFILES]

The NEWFILES option indicates the application supports long file
name and extended attributes.  Refer to MS help on the linker for 
more detail.
