- Actually, I meant more or less what I said. Since I didn't believe that
- ANSI was going to specify any standard libraries (I should have realized
- that streams would be specified) I didn't expect that libg++ would have any
- kind of a standard interface. By 'implementation' I meant design and
- coding rather than the traditional OOP sense of the word. What I *should*
- have said is "Given an ANSI-conformant compiler (conformant to whatever
- degree it has been defined) can I expect the libg++ libraries to compile
- on it?". Thanks for the correction. Oh, and BTW, you mention a 'couple of
- others' (library classes), what are they?

- : I recommend getting gdb-4.6 if you're going to use g++. It has greatly
