You're right - I didn't notice that.

BTW, adding the following two lines

  int compare(size_type pos, size_type n, const basic_string& str) const
    { return compare (str, pos, n); }

to the basic_string class definition in bastring.h allows the program
in the original post in this thread to work (provided the program is
fixed by adding

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

at the start).
