Hi all,
	I've got a minor problem.

I try to run a compile/link a simple program and I get an error.

Listing of C++ program "t.c"
-------------------------------------------

#include <iostream.h>
#include "chiarray.h"
#include "chistrng.h"

main()
{
 String oFirstName("Adam");
 String oSurName("Zecheus");
 cout << "First Name is " << oFirstName << 
         " Surname is "    << oSurName << endl;

 Array<String> ooaName(0,1);
 ooaName[0] = oFirstName;
 ooaName[1] = oSurName;
 if (ooaName[0] < ooaName[1])
    cout << "Adam is less than Zecheus" << endl;
 else
    cout << "Zecheus is less than Adam" << endl;
}

output: 
-----------

t.c: In function 'int main()':
t.c: 7: 'String' undeclared (first use ...)
etc...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part of header file ChiStrng.h:
----------------------------------------------

class Chi_String
/* PURPOSE:       A string class
*/
{
public:
   enum {NPOS = INT_MAX}; // maximum number of positions in string

   Chi_String();                       // constructs an empty string
   Chi_String(const char s[]);
   Chi_String(char ch);

   char& operator[](int i);
   void set(int i, char ch);

   void insert(int at, const Chi_String& s);
   void insert(int at, const char s[]);
   void insert(int at, char ch);
   void insert_field(int, const Chi_String&);


} etc...


Anyway the source works on the UNIX CC program, using a makefile.

Listing of Makefile
----------------------------

#makefile
CHIFLAG = -I/home/student8/common/Headers -lchi -DCHI_RENAME 

OBJECT = 

#Note: compile any files with .C extension and produce the respective
object 
#      files 
#Note: -g and -c are compilation flags
.C.o:
	CC -g -c $< 

#Produce an executable program: 
#Compile .C file, link with library libchi.a
#Header files stored in /home/student8/common/Headers

tryArrStr:        tryArrStr.C
	CC -g $(CHIFLAG) tryArrStr.C -o $@

tryarr~1:         tryarr~1.c
  	CC -g $(CHIFLAG) tryArr~1.C -o $@

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suppose the makefile renames the chi_String to String
since it was declared as a chi_String in the header file.

is there a way to overcome this???

I have tried renaming all the header files from the chilib (Cay
Horstmann's Library) to remove the Chi_*, however it doesn't work. I
am trying to bring my school assignments home, but am stumped by this
horrendous error. Can someone pls help me??? 

pls CC to me as well.

regards,
