Hi !

I've had a problem with the string classes when updating the compiler
version to 2.8.1. I found - after reading the mail archieve- that there
is a STL string class ("string") and a Gnu string class "String" which I
was using the time before the update.

When linking a prog using "string" I can compile and link with gxx.exe
but using Gnu's "String" I got a linker error (undefined references).

My questions:
1. How can I link the Gnu "String class" (so I can use my old code)
2. What is the maijor difference between them.

Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance

Gruesse
Michi
