jpdelprat AT teaser DOT fr (Jean-Pierre Delprat) was overheard mumbling
incoherently about Files in lower case + UNZIP:

If you use 4dos, just put this command in a batch file:
for %%x in (%1&) do ren %x %@lower[%x]
It shouldn't be too hard to write such a program in djgpp, but I'm not
aware of one.

Did you build zip/unzip yourself, or download a precompiled binary?
If it was precompiled, it may not have been compiled with DJGPP 2.01.
For me, it worked with long filenames, but it converted all filenames
to lowercase.  The problem is in zip, not unzip.  It shows the correct
long filenames on the screen, but the lowercased names are stored in
the .zip.  Here's a diff for msdos/msdos.c (version 2.1):
