Actually, STL is the C++ Standard Template Library, and it is 
implemented as a series of header files in which the templates are 
defined.  I copied the files from my SGI machine and they seem to compile 
OK, although somewhere I'm having trouble with an inline definition of 
new(size_t, void*) - I think I can work it out.

Congrats to all those involved in GPP and DJGPP.  STL causes most compilers 
fits because it uses some cutting edge def's for templates.

By the way, I downloaded lgp271b.zip and I have libgpp.a from it.  I 
assume that's an alias for libstdcx.a - am I wrong?

I've got gcc272b.zip from oakland and it doesn't have it.  I'll try coast 
and see if it's there.

Thanks for the help.
