If you plan on doing most of your development under Windows 95 I would
highly recommend that you
use NT/95 Emacs instead of DOS Emacs.  Its available from

http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html

As to your problems, you are correct in your semi-guess that it is LFN
related.  Try re-extracting and
preserving long file names, and then set LFN=y in either your environment or
your djgpp.env file.  Or maybe try setting LFN=n and leaving files as it.
