PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.04g has no LFN support, IIRC.
PKZIP/PKUNZIP 2.50 has LFN support, IIRC.

For Windows, I use WinZip and 7-Zip.  For DOS, I use PKZIP/PKUNZIP
2.04g and 2.50.  FYI, there are a few ancient .zip's that'll  *only*  work
with 2.04g.  Today, I use 7-Zip exclusively.  I don't think I've ever
used DJGPP's UNZIP utility.  I might've tried it a few times, but I
generally don't use it.  IIRC, I did use Info-ZIP for DOS once, but mostly I
used it in a enterprise server environment.


I'm not seeing the LFN corruption issue.  I've tried these:

DOSLFN 0.32o
DOSLFN 0.34b
DOSLFN 0.40e
DOSLFNMS 0.40e
DOSLFN 0.41b
DOSLFNMS 0.41b


DOSLFNMS according to doslfn.txt:

"DOSLFNMS is intended for use with MS-DOS 7
(but may also work with FreeDOS)
and also has some features removed to reduce its size:"


The DOSLFN changelog.txt says a DIR problem was fixed with 0.40c
and another directory issue with 0.40c.  I'd suspect one of those ...
Next, I'd suspect the SCSUCDX changes in 0.34, 0.40, 0.40a.


Hopefully, the old versions are still available on Jason's site.  But, if
not, I have the following versions:

0.32e
0.32n (1/03)
0.32n (3/03)
0.32o (HH final)
0.32o (JH 5/03)
0.32o (JH 10/03)
0.40c
0.40e
0.40f
0.41
0.41a
0.41b

Let me know if you need them packed up.  If you can find someone else with
the other versions, you might be able to determine which one created the
issue.  Not to volunteer anyone, but maybe Rugxulo can help with that or
direct you to someone with the other versions.
