True, but there *is* a string class in (the working paper for) C++, and
it's implemented in the C++lib for DJGPP.  It's declared in the header
std/string.h, which in turn uses the declaration for basic_string from
std/bastring.h.

I suppose you would use it like this:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <std/string.h>

int main()
{
   string s("Hello world!");
   cout << s << endl;
   return 0;
}

(On my system, this works when compiled with gxx, but not when compiled
with RHIDE (no errors even with RHIDE, though).)
