I wrote the next program:

#include <dir.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	int	s;
	struct	ffblk dta;
	s=findfirst("*.*",&dta,0x10);
	while(s!=0)
	{	printf("%s\n",dta.ff_name);
		s=findnext(&dta);
	}
}

It works perfectly when compiled in C (TEST.C)
But when I rename it to TEST.CPP, the program doesn't work: the first two
letters of ALL entries are missing !!
I think that it is a bug in the declaration of the ffblk struct. Did you
ever found this problem ?
Thanks. DJGPP is simply great !
