I can see from the FAQ's there seems to be a problem with the string class.  Can you double check this for me.

I am re-learning C++ as I did a course about three years ago but never really used it - so the skeleton below may be wrong!

The following is a skeleton program (to highlight the error, nothing else) followed by the command line and the output.

Is there something I can do to build programs using the string class, if not do you know when there will version available to support strings?

Thanks.

Mark.


tplay.cpp
---------
#include <iostream.h>                
#include "play.hpp"

int main()
{                                   
	play p1( "Mark" );

	p1.disp();

	return 0;
}


play.hpp
--------
#include <string.h>

class play
{
public:
	play( const string & n );
	~play();
	void disp() const;
private:
	string name;
};


play.cpp
--------
#include <iostream.h>
#include "play.hpp"

play::play( const string & n ) : name( n )
{
	cout << "play ctor" << endl;
}

play::~play()
{
	cout << "play dtor" << endl;
}

void play::disp() const
{
	cout << name << endl;
}


command line
------------
