   Hm, I think you're wrong about the poster's intensions. I think he   
   want's this program to stay a dos one. So the other advice given -   
   namely to use the LFN api available since windows 95 (dos box only) - is   
   correct.   
      
   Another thing to mention is DR DOS 7.0x, which has an unofficial FAT32   
   driver and which also has a LFN TSR which makes the very same API available.   
      
   As also already mentioned you must guard the calls for overflows of the   
   longint variable type.   
      
   But the biggest thing I think is, that he hopes that somebody takes the   
   time to do the enhancemen. For me it seems he can't program.
