I understand that you upgraded the GCC compiler, not DJGPP.  When you say 
"DJGPP version NNN", it refers to the file djdevNNN.zip, the development 
environment and the C library.  GCC versions are a different matter.

It looks like iostream.info was indeed omitted from gpp303b.zip.  I don't 
know why; perhaps it is no longer distributed by the GCC maintainers.

This file was present in gpp2953b.zip, so perhaps you could download that 
and use iostream.info from there.

There's no strclass.h in gpp303b.zip; I guess it means that header was 
not a standard one, and was thrown away.  Welcome to the dynamic world of 
C++...

I think you will have to change your program, but I don't know what 
header should replace strclass.h.  Anybody?

Please remove the entire directory lang\cxx (unless you want to be able 
to use GCC 2.7.x): it doesn't belong to the new C++ headers, which are in 
lang\cxx-v3.
