I have NT on my home system and had the same problem.  To make
everything work I simply wrote my first DJGPP program to find all files
that weren't 8.3, i.e. first section longer than 8, or last section
longer than 3, or multiple sections.  I repaired them manually since I
couldn't think of an easy way to fix them programmatically.  You need to
fix <iostreams.h> first to <iostream.h> and then you can write a program
to fix the rest.  It took me about 10 minutes with explorer to fix them;
the directory lang\cxx and its subdirectories were the worst.

If you want, I can post the program, but it's pretty simple and kind of
a fun way to start.  You simply work your way through the tree of
subdirectories below \djgpp (make this a parameter of your program) and
print out any filename (or subdirectory name) with a tilda, i.e. the
character '~', in it.

Everything works fine now.  It also makes the info.exe program work too.

Next step, making RSXNTDJ work.
