Hi,

When I use the findfirst() and findnext() functions of libc,
the first 2 characters of the names in ffblk.ff_name dissapear.
Is this a bug in libc.a ? With Borland C, this works fine.

The program:

#include <dir.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{ struct ffblk fblk;
  char ftemp[MAXPATH]=3D"c:/data/*.*";
	=

  if (!findfirst(ftemp,&fblk,FA_DIREC))
  do
  { if (fblk.ff_attrib & FA_DIREC) =

    { cout << "Dir: ";
      cout << fblk.ff_name << "\n";
    }
  } while(!findnext(&fblk));

  return 0;
}

Gives as result:

Dir:       outsid=01>P=80=020
Dir: =

Dir: _SPR
Dir: SIC
Dir: G
Dir: XT
Dir: NDOWS
Dir: ET

While the directory c:/data contains:


 Volume in drive C has no label
 Volume Serial Number is 212C-73A8
 Directory of C:\DATA
