Resently we discussed about 8+3 problem for those who
compiling DJGPP DOS port under Win32.
I was curious, which is the correct URL for "DOS" unzip?
Checking out http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/MSDOS/unz531x3.exe
with unzip.exe and unzip32.exe I was surprized:
it is happend unzip32.exe compiled with VFAT-SUPPORT (unzip32.exe -v).
More, readme.dos says:
> - djgpp 2.0's long-filename support is somewhat flaky; users should upgrade
> to version 2.01 instead.

So, we got a loop!
(latest DOS unzip support long-filename under Win32 DOS box, against our aim)
Now Win32 people have a chose: (1) upgrade their djgpp to 2.01
and do unpack with winzip or any other utility they prefer,
or (2) unpack the source with *old* DOS unzip or pkunzip
to adjust to 8+3.
Anybody can check whether (1) works or not?
Leonid.
p.s. Henry, sorry for replying to another address.
