It's the archiving program, not Windows that is doing the truncating. Use
an archiving utility that fully supports long filenames, or search for an
option within the current utility to enable long filename support.

I came across the following problem:
I have an archive including files having long filenames. When I run
the self-extracting archive, Windows 98 truncates the names of files
to 8 char, without ~n sign (as usually done at command prompt).
