You are wrong George when RHIDE 1.4 was released the distributed library was 
called libstdcx.a, then when gpp280/1b.zip was released (later) the library 
was renamed to libstdcxx.a. I don't know why such a change, I never saw 
somebody complaining about 272 (and previous) using stdcx and not stdcxx, 
from the other hand all the weeks I see at least one person complaining about 
stdcxx.
