Then you need to write a Windows program.

What version are you running, that you find a FindFirst function?

Well, yeah, there is.
FindFirstFile is a 32bit Windows function. It knows all about long
file names.
findfirst is a 16bit DOS function. DOS knows nothing about long file
names.

That is why Ed said in his first message:
"I assume that you are writing a 32 bit Windows program."

That was a valid assumption, as DOS doesn't support long file names.
