I've done this, and rebuilt libiostr.a - what to do now?  I tried to test 
it by putting libiostr in the DJGPP\LIB directory (where the original 
was, just overwriting it) and then i compiled the example program, same 
(wrong) output as before.  So, to make sure that it was reading the lib 
files, I deleted them entirely (made a backup first) and tried to compile 
again (expecting an error message) and it compiled without any problems, 
still giving the wrong output!  what's going on!?  Where does it read the 
lib files from?  I would imagine  DJGPP\LIB  ??


strange.
