The truncation is not the reason; I'm using the C++ compiler on a
plain DOS system where all file names are truncated, and don't have
any trouble.  Things are set up to make it work; in particular, when a
compiler tries to open a file like "streambuf", the OS silently
truncates that name to "streambu", and the file with the truncated
name is found.

So please don't assume the truncation is the reason.  Instead, please
post here the exact command you used to compile you program and the
exact text of any error messages you saw, and someone will help you
resolve the problem.
