The solution would be to unpack with an unzipper which is UNaware of
LFN's (like pkunzip 2.04g). This is (should be) mentioned one way or
another in the faq (you can get from simtel: djgpp/v2/faq210?.zip).
There is no need to explicitly put LFN=n in your environment on NT,
LFN's will just don't work with DJGPP programs even if you set LFN=y
(although there is an experimental NT lfn driver somewhere, search the
mail archives for the adress (or the FAQ?)) [1]

hth,

[1] Eli, did I put it right this time ?;-)
