Want to bet ten trillion dollars on that?  :-)  There are a number of
problems with your code.

There is no prototype for malloc.  #include

DOS doesn't implement support for the DosFindFirst/FindNext calls provided
by the native OS/2 API.  You need to use interrupt 21h under DOS to perform
directory searches - refer to a DOS programmers reference guide (eg. Ralf
Brown's Interrupt List) for more information.  Bob Stout's SNIPPETS archive
may also be of use.
