C++ implementations vary greatly between platforms, and even between different compilers on the same platform. One library that seems to be present on some newer compilers is the Standard Template Library (STL). Some information is available through Yahoo: http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Programming_Languages/ C_and_C__/C__/Class_Libraries/Standard_Template_Library__STL_/ Also, C functions can be used perfectly well in C++. Check out the glibc2.1 info pages in the glibc-doc package. A word of warning: In my (albeit limited) experience, C++ and the STL has been more of a pain than a blessing. I wrote several programs that used the STL for linked lists and sorting, and found out that FreeBSD is not up to par with Linux in terms of C++ compilers and lacked some STL features I needed, and ended up rewriting the programs in Python to get them to port over cleanly. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
