That is right. And actually GNU C++ is close to the standards. Namespace is
hardly implemented in DJGPP C++ because it is hardly implemented in GNU C++
either. At least at this point. Anyway, look for the egcs compiler in for
example http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/ofc/simtel.cgi/simtel/v2gnu/egcs/ ,
or for the pgc compiler (the pentium variant of egcs) at
http://www.goof.com/pcg/djgpp/index.html .
Egcs can handle namespaces, but can cause troubles with STL or exception
handling.

I found this and other information by a power search on www.dejanews.com
with namespace in the subject field and comp.os.msdos.djgpp as forum.

Good luck with egcs.

Peter.
