I decided to deprecate _findfirst() and _findnext() in Pelles C. With ANSI and Unicode version, 32-bit and 64-bit file size version, and now 32-bit and 64-bit time version, it turned into waaaay too many variations of the same. It should be a simple/mechanical change to use _findfirst64()/_findnext64() instead of _findfirst()/_findnext().

Robert,

It is pretty easy to do, I've done it.  The only other thing you'll need to be aware of is that the size element in the structure changed from returning unsigned long int  to returning unsigned long long int.  Otherwise search and replace  :).

Regards,
John

Hello,
What is this functions? Is this wrappers around Winapi or what?
And what means deprecated? I can't use it in my programs or this is only warnings (MSVC deprecated lstrcat, but I can use it).
