I don't know of Delphi compatibility, but sure not for TP and/or FPC 
itself when doslfn is disabled. It cannot be other than that, because 
the interrupt service which lies on short FindFirst don't accept in the 
cx required criteria, but only allowable. Retaining this discrepance 
makes old application that use file searching to crash when running on 
new environment.
