- That's probably just something else that happens to have the same
- name. This BDS header file contains a C++ string class?

- The bstring.h the original poster is referring to is a particular

- standard. Apparently, it was included as part of some course on
- STL the original poster was taking which also included other aspects
- of standard C++ (the string class).
