Thank you.

This is consistent with the Unix side of things not the DOS side where you
have to specifically link in an object file to give the same functionality.

I'm guessing that you invoked your program like this:

        yourprog C:\*.*

Is that right?  If so, av[1] didn't contain "C:\*.*", but the first file
in the C:\ directory.  That's because the DJGPP startup code
automatically expands wildcards in all the command-line arguments.  If
you want to pass the literal "C:\*.*" to a program, enclose it in double
or single quotes.  When I do that, your program works for me as you'd
expect: it prints all the files in the C:\ directory.

(That's why I asked you to tell what's in av[1], but I guess you didn't
actually look... ;-)
