as i pointed out before,

"... as per your other post, note that djgpp programs will not be able to 
see long file names under NT, 
see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq3_3.html"

also:

"in addition, as I have asked before, what did you use to unzip the 
files? from readme1st:

 On Windows/NT (NT version 4 and below, not W2K!) use an unzip
 program which does NOT support long file names if you do not plan on
 using the LFN TSR, as DJGPP programs cannot access long file names
 on NT4 without the TSR.  Again, unzip32.exe will do The Right Thing
 for you, so using it is recommended."
