Accessing Long Filenames under Win95 dos session

I want to rewrite the DOS DIR command to display the long filenames
that Windows 95 uses using Turbo Pascal 7.0. How do you access these
names? Using the FinFirst, FindNext only display the truncated
filenames. (IE: PROGRA~1 rather than Program Files) Any assistance
will be appreciated.

Hello,

An easier solution would be to use 4DOS. 4DOS is a COMMAND.COM replacement
and its builtin DIR command use long filenames under Win95.
