Sinan,
Thank you for the response. The filename above is only meant to
illustrate the problem, it is not literally what I did. It's an
American thing -- but others do it too.

The unzip did work with long filenames per the check for sysmacros.h
versus sysmacro.h as explained in djgpp/readme.1st. But there is
something in my NT installation that shows both long filenames one time
and 8.3 filenames another time. I'll have to check more closely.
Thanks again for the response,
Jeff
