Hi All,
I am trying to get an application called CobCy (Cobol to C converter) up and
running on Win98.  It is developed on OS2 EMX version of Gnu Development
tools.  The author has not tested it on win98 but believed that DJGPP should
run this application on Win98. (http://web.tiscali.it/albertosantini/cobcy/)

When I install and try and compile I get a number of problems.

Q1.  An include called strstream.h is not found.  The code says
'strstream.h' but the compiler says it cannot find 'strstrea.h'.  It seems
to have truncated the include member name.  I read FAQs and found LFN and
set it to 'y'.  (I also used the supplied unzip to ensure no problems with
LFNs.) However, it still does not recognise the long file name in the source
code when doing the include.  The only way around this so far has been to
create a new file called 'strstrea.h' and then it is found.  Anyone seen the
name of the file get truncated as it is being used for an include?  Any
ideas?

Q2.  The application includes socket.h which is in the sys include
directory.  socket.h includes winsock.h.  However, there is no winsock.h
installed in my version of DJGPP.  Where should winsock.h be?

Q3.  I'd be very interested if anyone else out there has managed to
implement CobCy under win98 with DJGPP.

Thanks

Peter Nolan
