I've also had trouble moving to V2.x from V1.x and it seems that the new 
complex class is a template class meaning that complexes must be declared 
with their component data type (ie. Complex<double> x instead of just 
simply Complex x).  This is worthwhile because now I can have Complex 
single precision numbers (Complex<float>).  However, I'll have to change 
a lot of existing software to be compatible with the complex template 
class.  

Is the complex template class a standard, an emerging standard or just 
one of numerous implementations of the complex class.  I typically do 
code development in the Borland C++ IDE but I don't believe they have the 
same Complex template class.  This would make me reluctant to move to the 
template class.  I suppose I could extract the source for the complex 
template class from DJGPP and include it in the Borland environment.

Are there other options?
