It sounds like you unzipped the *.zip files on Windows, and then
rebooted into DOS.  That made long file names to become inaccessible
to DJGPP programs, and what you see are the 8+3 short alias.

Solution: either remove the entire DJGPP tree and unzip again _after_
booting to dos (you will need the unzip32.exe program which is
available from the same place where you get the rest of DJGPP); or
don't reboot into DOS: DJGPP programs run just fine on Windows, and
they can support long file names there.

If you want a dual DOS/Windows installation that will work in both
Windows and plain DOS, read section 22.19 of the DJGPP FAQ list: it
explains how to set that up.
