Heh, well i think _i_ can awnser this... the problem is the old pkunzip 
program does not extract long file names. It list the files with LFNs as it's 
extracting them but they will be truncated when they reach the filesystem. You 
might want to get a new version of the offical PKzip tools, from 
www.pkware.com. There is win9x GUI verson and a win9x command line version, 
among others.

(If you get the command line version i suggest putting it in your path (as you 
may already have pkzip), renaming it pkz.exe for sanity, and typing 'pkz 
-config -max -dir', which will make it always use level nine compression and 
always extract subdirectorys. )

Hope to help.
