dammit. this is getting worse. i tried some of the things that you said and i'm
getting a different problem now. now it says it cannot find streambuf.h.  i
changed to long filenames and then this problem started occuring. any other ideas?
sorry to continue this line of questions, but i really can't make any progress.
