Yes, but you will kick yourself ;-)

FWIW, I don't think that searching the headers or libraries is a good
way to learn C++.  You will end up using features specific to DJGPP or
GCC and later you will have portability problems.  Much better to get
a good reference book.

And as for the standard string class, brace yourself ...








#include <string>   // Ouch!



HTH, Jason.

ps. please can you reduce your line length.
