DOS mode doesn't allow long filenames (Microsoft would rather you used 
the GUI), but there's a tool out there called LFNDos that will give 
access to long filenames in DOS mode.

Second, grab a copy of the PKZip 2.5 package as this handles long 
filenames when it thinks it sees Windows running (LFNDos fools it 
successfully). Alternatively get the freeware DJGPP Unzip32.exe and 
cwsdpmi.exe (along with LFNDOS) to do the unzipping.

HTH,
