Hello,

I have downloaded the DJGPP files from one of the mirror
sites and following are the files I have got:

04/19/00  08:11a             2,567,839 bnu2951b.zip
08/16/00  09:23a             1,538,147 djdev203.zip
04/14/00  07:20p             1,932,910 gcc2952b.zip
04/14/00  07:20p             1,713,599 gpp2952b.zip

(Don't be misled by the datestamps. They refer to the
dates on which these files were downloaded and NOT the
dates on which these files were created for FTP site)

When I tried to compile a file hello1234.cpp using gxx
(or gcc), I got the error that "hello1234.cpp file not
found (ENOENT)". I renamed it as hello.cpp and voila,
things were OK.

However, if I included <streambuf.h> either explicitly
in my source file or implicitly (through iostream.h, for
example), I get the same error ENOENT. Definitely, I
cannot extend the renaming exercise here to stub out the
error message.

Would you please tell me where I have gone wrong?

Regards
