First I did with Winzip under Win98, and of course, it worked.
But I want to use DJGPP also on an old 486-Laptop with a 40MB-HDD, so
there's not enough space for Win98.
So I first copied as is on that Laptop, and after it didn't work, I set
+LFN=N, but it still didn't work.
And last but not least I copied the Zip-File on the Laptop and unzipped them
there (with PKunzip supporting LFN's) and set +LFN=N again, but that also
didn't work.

I've had both versions, steamb~1.h and streambu.h; none of them worked.

As I discribed in the first answer, I want to run DJGPP on a Laptop that
only can run a little OS, such as MS-DOS or Caldera-DOS (I also minimized
the OS-installations to less than 1MB, so I've got 39MB for DJGPP).


Thanks so far for your help.
