  19. It can't work, because 3.1 either doesn't support templates or the
  20. support is very weak, I can't remember which.  STL also requires
  21. several other things, like nested types that I _know_ 3.1 didn't
  22. suport.  4.0 is the latest version I know of that works.

  24. See my STL compatibility web page for more info:
