As I understand it, to run DJGPP on NT you must use an unzipper that does NOT understand long filenames (DJ has one, I believe) so that all of the files have truncated 8.3 names. There is *no* long filename support in an NT DOS box, so you must follow the instructions as if you had a non-Win95 DOS box, and use only 8.3 names.
