First of all, you have to dereference them all.  Second, you cannot use
sprintf to write to an int :)

Replace these lines:

 JP> sprintf((namelist+(items-1))->d_name,"%s",FindBuffer.achName);
 JP> 
 JP>
sprintf((namelist+items-1)->d_namlen,"%lu",strlen(FindBuffer.achName));
 JP> sprintf((namelist+items-1)->d_size,"%l",FindBuffer.cbFile);
 JP> *(namelist+items-1)->d_time=0; /* not interested making conversion */
 JP> *(namelist+items-1)->d_date=0; /* I doubt it's needed */
 JP> *(namelist+items-1)->d_attr=0; 

with these:

    sprintf((**(namelist+(items-1)))->d_name,"%s",FindBuffer.achName);
    (**(namelist+items-1))->d_namlen=strlen(FindBuffer.achName);
    (**(namelist+items-1))->d_size=FindBuffer.cbFile;
    (**(namelist+items-1))->d_time=0; /* not interested making conversion */
    (**(namelist+items-1))->d_date=0; /* I doubt it's needed */
    (**(namelist+items-1))->d_attr=0;
