This hypothesis may be true.

Learning on the standard was (is?) most of the times useless since few 
libraries were/(are?) standard and the standard was still moving.

Anyway I found this:
http://www.dinkumware.com/conform_cpp.html

Maybe some error were reported by 3.2 and not by 2.95 due to:
-   missing support of some operators in both
-   stricter type control

2.95 casted streampos to long int quietly.
3.2 didn't cast streampos and it complained about missing operator.

I don't know if it is standard that there isn't a ++ operator for 
streampos, but I would expect it to exist.

#include problem was my fault.

I've to check problems with some constructors.

Thanks to all for the pointers...
