I don't know if and how it apply and can be of any help here, but in my C programs in the very past after switching from DOS to

step 1: setting the current directory to the beginning part of the name with a length which can be passed as a function
parameter
step 2: usage of the remaining part of name as name passed as parameter to the file accessing function (relative to current
directory)

It seems this method doesn't help here.
