YES ... date is 2013-05-05 (almost 2 years ago)


; this is very rudimentary, maps directly into FindFirstFileA
; the only thing that really makes a difference is case sensitivity
; but I'm just ignoring it for the purpose of this fix - DAL
FindFirstFileExA proc public uses esi edi ebx pFileSpec:ptr BYTE, infoLevel:DWORD, fbuf:ptr WIN32_FIND_DATAA, searchOp:DWORD, pSrchFilter:ptr BYTE, flags:DWORD
   
    invoke FindFirstFileA, pFileSpec, fbuf
    ret
        align 4

FindFirstFileExA endp


The bad thing is that Japheth didn't release up-to-date source code, so this is a patch over potentially outdated "official" source.
