There is an HTML doc at sgi which is already very useful and complete, if you 
can't find it email me and I'll search it out for you. I have a local copy 
which I constantly refer to, even though I have been using STL for awhile now. 
Since 2.8.x ships with the sgi implementation, afaik compiling right out of 
the box, there is no significant reason to /not/ go with this info, since it's 
put out by sgi and therefore (at least, logically, I mean I don't really know 
for sure) documents thier STL.

The one thing that I have found lacking though, is a really good and 
complete tutorial. I have found some good ones that only brush on basics, and 
there is a lot of reference material that is either out-of-date or not 
specific enough or just too cryptic (see: SGI docs, heheh, which I happen to 
love in spite of this, just because they are so accurate)

Anyways, I hope that helps. Like I said if you can't get that SGI tutorial 
found out drop me a line, well I can just as easily email it to you as a ZIP 
file, anyways.

Come to think about it, I will email DJ and ask about adding a reference to 
this in the FAQ. Cheers,
