The easiest way is probably to call the appropriate DPMI function in
assembly from your handler.  The library function is really just a wrapper
around a short assembly code.  You can look in the library sources
(djlsr201.zip) for its assembly code.

Which gzip do you have?  If that's gzip compiled with v2.0, I hope it 
does that automagically when LFN is set to `y'.  If not, then that's a 
bug in the DJGPP port (probably from the old v1.x days when no long 
filenames were available).  In the latter case, you are out of luck, 
unless you care enough to get the gzip sources and correct the bug.
