TWIMC,
it's been awhile since i've dipped into C++ with DJGPP, but i did today and
ran into trouble with "#include <String.h>": gcc is reading <string.h> from
c:/djgpp/include instead of <_string.h> from c:/djgpp/cplusinc.  if i
change "#include <String.h>" to "#include <_string.h>", it works fine.
isn't this supposed to be automatic?  The output from gcc follows:

gcc -v -c textin.cc
Reading specs from c:/djgpp/lib\specs
gcc version 2.6.3
 c:/djgpp/bin\cpp.exe -lang-c++ -v -undef -D__GNUC__=2 ... textin.cc ...
GNU CPP version 2.6.3 (80386, BSD syntax)

In file included from textin.cc:3:

...

my files look like this:
----------------------------------textin.cc----------------------------------
// textin.cc
#include "textin.h"
TextInControlInformation textinControl;
----------------------------------textin.h ----------------------------------
// textin.h -- class definitions for text objects manipulated by TextIn
#ifndef textin_h_included_already
#define textin_h_included_already
#include <String.h>
class StringSet
{
public:
private:
    String string;
    StringSet *link;
};
...
#endif

i have DJGPP 1.12maint4 with gcc 2.6.3 installed in the default directories.
