Hi:

   I got the linux unzip sources and made a MSDOS and WIN32 builds.
I unfolded the djgpp gpp280b.zip, lgpp280.zip files again with both versions
of
unzip. I noted the MSDOS build truncates filenames to 8 characters, for
instance
libstdcxx.a becomes libstdcx.a. The WIN32 build creates the original filename,
however when doing ls from a bash prompt, it shows up as libstd~1.a. When
doing dir from a DOS shell, it shows the full name. When compiling a source
file that includes only c-header files with gxx, I get ld error saying
-lstdcxx not found. This is similar to the previous error I was mentioning
regarding include files <streambuf.h>.

   Please let me know if I need a specific unzip program. I had a PKUNZIP dos
program which did not do any good either, but I think the one I had was kind
of
old. Prior to all this, I was using the PKWARE windows unzip program which
runs from windows but you mentioned I needed one that runs from dos.

   Aside from all this, djgpp is great!! There is plenty of goodies in the
package 
I use on a daily basis. I prefer unix over msdos, however we have to deliver
on NT.
DJGPP allows me to use the tools I am familiar with (ls, chmod, vi, ... and on
and on)
Thank you very much for all the great work!

Thanks
Mohamed Baccar
