There is the gnuish distribution, but I'd forget about that. Go to
www.delorie.com and check out DJGPP.

This is a port of GNU GCC to Dos, and using this (and available from
the same places) are the GNU file, text and shell utilities and also
bash for Dos.

And, if you run them under Win95, they are long filenames aware. 

I have the whole lot installed here on my Win95 machine and along with
Emacs for Win95 and perl for Win95 I have pretty much the same tools
on my Win95 machine that I do on my Linux machine.

Heaven. :-)
