GNU's string class is declared in String.h, but the body of many of the 
functions is in libgpp.a.  Unless your marker has gcc available, it's 
unlikely that (s)he will be able to link in the gcc library, even if you 
give it to him/her.

If you can do without the nifty Regexp features of the String class, 
you're probably better off using the new std C++ string class.  Not only 
can you then compile it on any up to date C++ compiler, it's also better 
to learn the std than a proprietary class structure.
