You do not need to use DosFindFirst2 to take advantage of Long File names with
the HPFS. All 'normal' DOS APIs, e.g. DosOpen, DosFindFirst, work fine with
Long and Short file names as long as you activate Long File name support via
the NEWFILES option.
The DOS APIs with the 2 suffix, e.g. DosOpen2 and and DosFindFirst2, allow you
to specify Extended Attributes above and beyond long file names.
NOTE: If you use Long File names in your program make sure you increase the
various buffer lengths and associated code to accept longer names.
