I'm guessing that you either used WinZip to unzip the files on NT, or
copied the files from a CD with a Windows program.  The problem is
that DJGPP programs cannot access long file names on Windows NT,
unlike Windows 9X.  So you need to unzip or copy with a DOS program,
to get the file names properly truncated to 8+3 limits.

You might consider using the program unzip32.exe which can be
downloaded here:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/unzip32.exe

If the files on the CD are not in .zip format, compress them with
WinZip and then uncompress again with unzip32.exe.

More details about this are available in the DJGPP FAQ list, section
8.3 (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_3.html).
