Okay I finally got it working.  Let me share what I learned.

On windows NT machines you can either edit the autoexec.bat file to include
the lines:
C:\DJGPP> echo set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% >> c:\autoexec.bat
C:\DJGPP> echo set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV >> c:\autoexec.bat

OR more correctly you can edit your SYSTEM ENVIROMENT.  This is where all the
environment veriables are stored.  You can find the System Environment by
right clicking on the "My Computer" and selecting the "Properties".  Then
select "Environment".  Here you can edit PATH and create a new DJGPP
varaible.

Long file names are BAD for DJGPP on windows NT.  I tried changing the LFN=n
to y in the DJGPP.ENV file but that didn't help.

I couldn't find a option in WinZip that would not use the LFN.  I had trouble
with PKzip also but it may be able to do it if you know what your doing.

Finally I got PKUNZIP.EXE   Apparently this is different that PKZIP which now
doesn't come with PKUNZIP instead it has the command line "-extract" option
and this uses the long file format.

With PKUNZIP.EXE I was able to correctly extract the files with the abrevated
names.

Once I put all the files into my C:\DJGPP directory I just type
"C:\DJGPP\>pkunzip -d *.zip" and all the files were extracted just fine.

It would be greate if you put the SHAREWARE version of PKUNZIP in the DJGPP
zippicker so it could be easily downloaded.   Thanks for your help.
