I tried what you suggested, and now I get the following error messages:

    In function 'int main()':
    'String' undeclared (first use this function)
    parse error before '('

By the way, I get the same errors when I run it directly from RHIDE.

You mentioned that _String.h is just a DJGPP thing.  What is <string>?  Is
it the "standard C++" string class header?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Charlie
