First, as other people mentioned, you could (but it isn't necessary) get a unzip
program that knows about long filenames and can can created them under Win95.
You could try WinZIP for Win95.About the missing cpp.exe: Look in gcc281b.zip in
the directory lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81 and copy the necessary files to your bin
directory.
