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.
