To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

     djgpp will work on windows NT v4 as long as you are very careful to 
     remember the following:
        1. Windows NT does not support long filenames in a dos box.
     
        2. There are long filenames in the djgpp distribution.
     
        3. Therefore, do not unzip the files using winunzip (the unzip 
     program supplied with win NT) since it keeps the long filenames.  Use 
     pkunzip or unzip386 ONLY to do the unzipping.  They truncate all 
     filenames to the 8.3 dos format.
     
     
     PS:  Thanks to Eli for the above info.
