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.

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)

Thanks.
