The way to get long filenames in OS/2 1.2 is to use the DosFindFirst2 
function instead of the DosFindFirst function.

Actually, I just realized that my last program to use the findfirst/findnext
functions worked fine with long filenames, and I used the older version.

I am using the 1.2 SDK and C 6.0 though.
