In that case, I'd like to report a bug in the DJGPP Zip Picker.

TO REPRODUCE:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html
Choose "Windows 98" as the operating system and select some packages,
then submit the form.

RESULT:
"Note: If you are using Windows 95/98, please check the file djgpp.env
to make sure LFN is set to Y and not N, and make sure you use an unzip
program that supports Win95 long file names, like winzip."

EXPECTED RESULT:
"...use an unzip program that supports Win95 long file names, like
unzip32." with unzip32 linked to the file on the chosen mirror.
