You must do one of two things to solve this problem:  either unzip the
files under Windows NT with an unzip utility that does NOT use long
filenames (such as pkunzip 2.04g or unzip386.exe which can be found on
SimTel), or set up your Windows NT configuration so that it creates the
correct short filenames (DJGPP FAQ chapter 8.2) and then reunzip the
files.
