It seems when they moved the old MSDOS software to old-gnu
in recent months they confused MSDOS vs WINDOWS software

on several occassions (emcas, PDFTEX) I got windows and non-8.3 versions
represented as MSDOS

Wondering if the SIMTEL CDROMs on archive.org are the only source?

Long file names are not necessarily a sign that this is not MS-DOS
compatible. The DJGPP build of Emacs, for example, can run on
Windows, and when it is, it supports long file names. There are also
a couple of plain-DOS packages that allow long file names.
