Hi, all!

I had just installed DJGPP and tried to get to know what a function
of class istream do. I ran info.exe and chose:
iostream->index->istream::getline

The program said:
Istream: No such file or directory [ENOENT]

The same happened for all the functions of istream, but if I choose
something except istream::***, the description shows correctly.

When I looked into djgpp/info/istream.i1 file I noticed, that
there actually ARE descriptions of getline and other functions of
istream!


My friend has exactly the same problem. I copied DJGPP files just
from him, so perhaps we have a corrupted file? Or, what I doubt,
something badly configured?

I checked that this file comes from lgp271b.zip.
Should I download the whole archive again?


By the way, just after writing the above text, I ran my linux,
logged in, started info and checked for functions of istream.
The effects were such as under Dos. I have Red-Hat 5.
A coincidence? Bad luck? A curse ;-) ? A bug??


Help by newsgroup and/or email greatly appreciated.
Michal.
