Hi,

I'd like to use the stlport library in a DOS application (esspecialy iostream and the containers).

1) Is it possible?
2) Has anyone used it?
3) Do you have any hints how to make suitable library?
4) Are there any special problems I could encounter?

Thanks in advance,
Michal

I don't think anyone has tried it. One problem you may run into is it being too large.

Yes.

I did portions of an application port from
DOS-targetted bare C++ to C++ with templates
using DMC.  Before that, I made sure that
the basic containers and cout worked.

Study the intended usage?

As somebody mentioned, size can become a
problem.  But 600K is still a lot of code.
