- The standard string class is part of the standard C++ library, not part
- of STL. STL is, itself, also part of the standard C++ library, but this
- does not make the string class part of STL.
-
- "bstring.h" does *not* come with the October 1995 HP release of STL,
- available on your own RPI ftp site, which you list above. The README file
- contained in the STL.ZIP file available there even documents the fact the
- strings are not part of STL, but rather the standard C++ library, on its
- first line...
-
- "STL is the container, iterator, algorithm part of the C++ standard
- library, it is not the complete standard library. (I/O streams,
- strings, etc. are not included in this package.)"
