Your long file names were wiped out somehow: the above file name (and
the rest of file names with those pesky ~1 numeric tails) clearly show
that.  Here's what "dir stream*" says in my lang/cxx directory:

Volume in drive C is SYSTEM
Volume Serial Number is 3B3A-12D0
Directory of C:\bin\gcc\lang\CXX

stream   h           1,925  12-26-95  8:07p STREAM.H
streambu h          17,020  01-24-96  2:11a streambuf.h
	 2 file(s)         18,945 bytes
	 0 dir(s)     692,125,696 bytes free

Note the short 8+3 names on the left and long versions on the right.
In your case, there are no long names.  However, the numeric tails
suggest that there *were* long file names, they just got nuked.

Did you copy this directory from another place using some DOS program
that doesn't support long file names?  Or maybe you edited the
directory with some disk-editing tool that doesn't support Windows 9X
style long file names?  In any of these cases, Windows detects that
the long file names and their short 8+3 aliases don't match, and nukes
all the long names, leaving you with the short names only.

The easiest solution for you is to remove the entire DJGPP
installation (not only the lang/cxx directory), and then unzip it
again with a program that supports long file names.  I suggest to use
unzip32.exe that is available from the DJGPP sites.
