The important thing isn't whether you use DosFindFirst or DosFindFirst2, but whether the calling program is marked as "HPFS-aware". There is a new flag in the EXE file header that indicates whether the program is prepared to deal with long file names. This flag can ben set with a grungy little program that patches the header (several are floating around on various systems...), or with the new toolkit, by a specification in the DEF file.
