Good evening.

%This sounds familiar. I think the problem was that the Emacs archive on

%`case-table.elc' => `case-tab.elc'. If so, either:
%* Rename them to their correct names

Thank you all very much for the responses.  

Here is how the story ended:

1. I did use an unzipper that could deal with long filenames--Norton
Unzip.  It does quite a nice job.

2. There were no truncated long filenames in the lisp directory.
Simtelnet apparently got it fixed.

3. Whoever said, 'set LFN=y', deserves large commendation.  It worked.
Mayhaps a bug, since I assumed that things would assume LFN if it was not
set, but anyways it worked, and I'm immensely happy.

One learns something everyday.  Thank you very much.
