I'm not complaining however I'd like to point out that once the port to
the latest draft standard is made we may have to use the draft standard
itself ( http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/c%2b%2bstd/cd2/ )to figure out
how to use it.  There I'm sure will be a delay between the port and a
tutorial on what it does and that book will have a good price.

	Just last night I started to use complex class.  It was well documented
in C++ lib info, only problem djgpp v2 did not Know about it.  I went to
info faq and did a search on complex and wow situation resolved.  Q
complex worked on v1 not v2 !! ... similar to my problem v2 uses
containers or templates or whatever it's not in my c++ tutorial.

	I suspect that c++ is evolving faster than the developers also it's
being pushed by various marketers.  It's a good idea to keep up but
backwards compatibility should be considered.  Hunting round all the
complex.h files Oh well why be nonstandard with if this then that too
complicated.
