[zip files seem to be incorrectly unzipped]

Ok, I see clear now. What I did was this:
I downloaded the archives drom the djgpp page and unzipped them on my linux 
box, on a reiserfs partition, with long filenames. Then I copied the 
(unzipped) files to a bunch of floppy disks that were formatted fat16. So I 
figure that the fat16 driver mistruncated the filenames, and actually it's 
the linux kernel that is to blame.
I did it that way because the only way to get things into the actual 
destination machine is via 1.44MB floppy disk. I can't do a thing about 
this. And since some of the zip files are bigger than 1.44MB I unzipped 
them to get smaller chunks.
So all I need to do is to find an unzipper that truncates correctly, even 
when the filesystem allows LFN, or find a program that truncates what I 
have unzipped in linux to 8.3.

Thank you so far, Dirk
