- Well, not in STL, but in the standard C++ library...

- Bzzt, wrong. (Well, maybe "Berkeley (BSD)" UNIX does have one, but
- that's not the first place I saw it.) It's probably Modena's basic
- string header, available from ftp://ftp.cs.rpi.edu/pub/stl/book in
- several archive formats. You might have to tweak it some to get it to
- work.
-
- The standard C++ library version is in cstring.h (or probably just
- "cstring" now) last I checked. With the recent Working Paper release,
- more compilers should begin supporting it. Borland C++ already does,
- though I hear it isn't a perfect implementation, from a standards
- point of view.
