My program is quite simple. It list as: 

#include <iostream.h> 
#include <fstream.h> 
#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <math.h> 

void main() 
  { 
   double a, g, k; 
   int    i; 

   cout << "Input k"<<endl; 
   cin >> k; 

   ofstream ofp("sig.dat"); 

   for (i=0; i<1000; i++) 
      { 
       a = i*0.01; 
       g = 2./(1. + exp(k*a)); 
       ofp << a << " " << g <<endl; 
      } 
   ofp.close(); 
 } 

When I compile, the ERROR is: 

E:\Yang>g++ aa.cc 
In file included from aa.cc:2: 
d:/djgpp/lang/cxx/iostream.h:31: streambuf.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT) 

Actually, I do have that file (streambuf.h is a LONG name. In the v2.0, 
it is streambu.h, a SHORT name): 
D:\DJGPP\lang\cxx>dir streambuf.h 
 Volume in drive D is Taylor Project 
 Volume Serial Number is F402-CEB0 

 Directory of D:\DJGPP\lang\cxx 

08/02/98  11:28p                16,756 streambuf.h 
               1 File(s)         16,756 bytes 
                            374,984,704 bytes free

I tried "set LFN=y", it still does not work.

Actually, I find a lot of files at v2.01 use LONG file names, e.g.,
stl_raw_storage_iter.h, 
stl_uninitialized.h, etc.

I type "info" or "info gcc", it works. BUT: 
E:\yang>info kb 'What Changed' Changes 
Bad command or file name 

Then I use: "Ctrl+C" try to stop it, it gives ERROR: 
"Dr. Watson for Windows NT" in a new window, saying that: 
"NTVDM.exe" ERROR. 

It likes something wrong. However. The v2.01 I installed works 
fine when I compile C programs without any LONG names. 

Thanks again.
