Yeah... and there was a suspicious silence, and when I checked again I saw the
article had been cancelled off the news servers from comp.os.msdos.djgpp.

Yeah. And between this Linux-chauvinism and -fno-implicit-templates not working
as advertised, it looks as if I am completely unable to compile any code that
uses the same template instance in more than one code module, which is simply
ludicrous and unacceptable.

I would like to know the solution to the problem, specifically, a short and
simple and feasible sequence of actions that will enable me to compile any
valid C++ template code. (And no, I don't consider "Go shell out ~$600 for
Micro$uck Visual C-It-Crash++" to be feasible...not on a student budget...)

Thanks in advance...
