These questions relate to the October 31, 1995 release of the
Hewlett-Packard implementation of STL, running under Borland C++ 4.5.

1. This STL implementation does not appear to be able to cope directly
with a container of pointers.  The template for destroy() in defalloc.h
attempts to call pointer->~T() where T is a pointer to a pointer type, and
a compiler error results.  What are the recommended work-arounds?

2. I get a large number of compiler warnings about ``Conversion will lose
significant digits'' when compiling with the large memory model.  This
looks to be more of a nuisance than a problem; are there any patches
available to make the compiler shut up?
