Works fine with latest beta..

Richard,
Just now saw your post.
I downloaded STLport-4.5-0119. I do not see a makefile for Digital Mars,
however. I have read the Install instructions quickly, and it seems
complicated to me. Can you give me some instructions? Shall I query
Christof? Or just wait until a set of DM instructions are published? I can
survive the "endl" bug for awhile longer.

uh.. sorry. I mean the latest DM beta.

Richard

Richard,
     OK, I got the beta, and using std::endl; works. I had downloaded the
zip some time ago, but did not know what to do with it. I did not realize
that scppn.exe was the compiler. After your message, the dawn broke.
     I'm way down on the learning curve, but I really like the compiler. It
is very fast, with smaller .exe files.
     Thanks very much for the tip.
Jim
