I just installed djgpp ver 2.81 on my Windows98 system and have just began
to compile sample programs.  I received a parse error on the following
snippet of code.

int main() {
   using std::copy;
   using std::cout;
   ...

The compiler complains "In function int main(), parse error before 'using'".
If I comment out the namespace specifiers the code compiles fine, (but
doesn't run).  If I replace all the namespace specifiers with 'using
namespace std;', I get the same error.

Is there some switch I'm not using or some other reason to cause gxx to not
recognize the using keyword?
