  19. >What version of the STL source is going to be in the standard?
  20.  
  21. None of the currently-available versions of STL are identical
  22. to what is in the draft C++ standard. The final version of STL
  23. will probably require features that few, if any, C++ compilers
  24. currently support. Versions of STL reasonably close to what will
  25. be the standard are currently available (for popular compilers)
  26. from several sources, some commercial, some free. By "reasonably
  27. close" I mean that code using those versions of STL probably
  28. will not need to be changed when compiled against standard-
  29. conforming C++ libraries when those become available. (The
  30. C++ Standard is not yet complete, so no implementation can
  31. accurately claim to be conforming.)
