LFN=y won't work on NT.  This is documented behavior: Microsoft didn't
include the special LFN calls in the NT DOS emulator.

There is a newer PKZIP which supports long file names on NT.  Don't
use it to unzip DJGPP archives.  The older PKUNZIP v2.04g is what you
need.  Or just use InfoZip's UnZip compiled with DJGPP.

The DJGPP site has unzip386.exe which you should have used.  Doesn't
the zip picker suggest that?  If not, please report that to DJ Delorie
