The reason Visual C++ is a sickness with no
cure is because it runs right out of the box
on it's target OS.  (Well, more or less)

After installing DJGPP on my WinNT system
I tried creating 'Hello World'.  I include
'iostream' which is found but the compiler
can find 'streambuf.h'.

After reading all the documentation I could
(If anyone knows of a way to read man pages
under NT please let me know) I believe the
problem has to do with long file names.

I've edited the 'djgpp.env' file and set the 
env vars but still the compiler can't find it.
My source file is named 'temp.cpp' and I can
see 'streambuf.h' in the correct directory.

Any other suggestions on how I can get this 
compiler to work?  I was hoping that DJGPP
would allow me to give Bill the Gates the 
finger, but now it looks like I'll have to 
blindly go Visual.
