   The find_t struct in dos.h is supposed to be packed. It
   is full of (packed) attributes. For some strange reason, it isn't
   packed until I put an #pragma pack(1) in front of it.
   (#pragma pack() behind it).

   The findfirst/findnext functions don't work until I modify
   the headers. 

   Is this a known bug? I'm using V 2.00.

Known bug affecting C++ apps only.  The packed attributes are the problem, IMS, 
but as you discovered the #pragma works.
