I don't get this.  I have been trying to get DJGPP to work, but it does not 
like strings at all.  Here is my program.

#include <string.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
string a = "Yo";
cout << a;
return 0;
}

and here is the error I get.

search.cpp: In function `int main()':
search.cpp:7: `string' undeclared (first use this function)
search.cpp:7: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
   function it appears in.)
search.cpp:7: parse error before `=' token
search.cpp:8: `a' undeclared (first use this function)

I have tried changing the line #include <string.h> to a ton of different stuff, 
but nothing works.  Here's a list of SOME of the the stuff I have tried.

#include <string>
#include <String.h>
#include <_String.h>
#include <cstring.h>
#include <basic_string.h>

I don't get it.  Did I get a bad version of the compiler?  Other header files 
work fine.  iostream and fstream work beautifully, but not string.  I just 
don't get it.
