Martin Ambuhl: Thanks for your suggestion on adding the "using
namespace std;" line.  This was EXACTLY what I was looking for.  Now
my compiler recognizes the string functions of the "#include <string>"
line.

This answer raises new questions.  What exactly does "using namespace
std;" mean?  Why didn't I need it before on what I suspect was an
earlier version of DJGPP?  If a new version of DJGPP requiring this
line was added recently, why was the change necessary?  It threw me
for a loop.
