Wouldn't it be an idea to put a newer (Info)zip/unzip in the FTP-dir
at least in v2apps/ The newest versions can make use of LFN's. I
wouldn't mind putting the package together (I'm planning to do so
already, but if it should be done, I think I'd do it quicker), but I
don't now yet if we're allowed to do it (I think one should get
permission from the Info-Zip team, at least I'd try to get it)

I know LFN=y should be set, and you should have DPMI services, so it
can't easily be a replacement for unzip386.exe, but maybe it can serve
as a suggestion for a LFN aware (un)zipper in the FAQ/Readme.1st.
