#include <streambuf> should bring in the standard C++ library 
implementation, #include <streambuf.h> would bring in a pre-standard 
implementation.  Does that version of gcc not come with the standard 
stream implementation?

tchar is an abomination and the source of all sorts of problems.  
Hopefully it will be disappearing in the relatively near future.

I'm a Solaris newbie and would appreciate if anyone could given be a 
reference to a "Getting started with Solaris for Linux Developers" 
guide.  I've downloaded Solaris 10 x86 and had attempted to use it with 
Microsoft Virtual PC but things just didn't seem to work right 
(language CD appeared to be unformatted).  I'm going to install a 
second hard drive one of my boxes for Solaris x86 and give it another 
go.  My initial problem is getting gcc and the like installed.
