The problem seems to be only with LFNs that have more than one "dot".
I too have unzipped LFNs in DOS with pkunzip.
However, this is what happens.
--- contents of SIXFILES.ZIP ---
file_number_one.txt
file_number_two.txt
file_number_three.txt
file_number_four.txt
file_number_five.txt
file_number_six.txt
_________________________________
pkunzip -o sixfiles.zip
Result....
file_num.txt (this is actually file_number_six.txt)
(2 ovewrwrites 1, 3 overwrites 2, 4 over 3, 5 over 4, 6 over 5)
Without the -o option, we get a pause before 2,3,4,5 and 6 so that we
can rename that file to something else.
Result....
file_num.txt (file_number_one.txt)
file_nu2.txt (file_number_two.txt renamed)
file_nu3.txt (file_number_three.txt renamed)
file_nu4.txt (file_number_four.txt renamed)
file_nu5.txt (file_number_five.txt renamed)
file_nu6.txt (file_number_six.txt renamed)
With more than 1 "dot" in the original file name inside of the .ZIP....
Unable to create some.file.txt
