Stupid suggestion !!!

If you have a legal copy of MS-Dos 6.22, you do not need FreeDOS or DR-DOS

One thing:      If you use a version prior to MS-Dos 6.22 go to the 
                Microsoft-Page and get the FREE updates up to version 6.22

                If you have trouble to find the right files let me know,
                I can send it with E-Mail to you, but I must know the 
                version you use.

Now your problem with LFN...

I have downloaded around 60 MBytes and had extract them.
I am programming in C and C++ and with Allegro.

Never I had problems with LFN's.

Please be sure, to use a 16-Bit unzipper which does not restore the LFN's.
They are unzippe for Dos which can do it...
Like

    ThisIsALongFileName.txt     <-- File in ZIP-File

    ThisIs~1.txt                <-- LFN unzipper (Do not use it !!!)

    ThisIsAL.txt                <-- 16-Bit unzipper

I hope this help you
