This is expected, because the short 8+3 aliases that are copied to the
laptop have those pesky numeric tails.

*Bad* idea: don't use PKUnzip with long file name support: it creates
the files with numeric tails. Please use unzip32.exe which is
available on the same site where you downloaded DJGPP.

Sorry, I find this hard to believe: streambu.h works for me on a DOS
machine. Please make sure you have streambu.h and try the
compilation. If it still says that it doesn't find it, the problem is
not with the name of this file, but with your general setup. See
section 8.3 of the FAQ for some ideas.

That's easy: just unzip everything with unzip32.exe, and it should
work.
