NT does not let DJGPP programs access long file names (streambuf.h 
exceeds the DOS 8+3 limits).  So you need to unzip the packages with a 
DOS program that truncates the long file names, otherwise nothing will 
work.

This is in the FAQ, btw (section 8.2).  I suggest to search the FAQ 
whenever you have problems, since many questions are already answered 
there.
