I am trying to figureout the differences between the already
included STL and STLport.  Is STLport more standards
compliant? faster?

Also, how do I use the Standard C++ string library?  If I
use <string.h>, I get the C library, If I use <string>, I
get an error.

Thanks,
Kevin

Use STLport, as the other is no longer supported.

Compile with:
    -I\dm\stlport\stlport

Am I right in thinking that STLport doesn't work with dos-extended
applications?  (Because of its unquenchable desire for the presence of
various Unicode functions)

If so, is there now no 'official' route for using and STL library in 32-bit
DOS applications?

Thanks,

Will

Yes. DOS, unfortunately, doesn't do unicode.

 If so, is there now no 'official' route for using and STL library in


 DOS applications?


You can still use STL on that.

Sure. And I don't want to either!  (In this app...)

It's a pity that STLport creates this artificial dependency.  (Not your
fault, I know)

 You can still use STL on that.


Thanks.
