We are trying to implement intricate portable data structures on a net of PCs,
Sun and SGI-machines. As we have many versions of gcc ranging from 2.5.8 to
2.6.2 on different machines I am very interested in a

               template mechanism that works.

I read much about intermediate solutions in gpp (#pragma ...) and I would like
to know if one day we will have also in djgpp a portable template mechanism.

* When is a stable template solution in gcc available?
* Shouldn't I better use SGIs instead of PCs because of a better
  template handling of the SGI-compiler CC? (SGI On-line-books, 'C++ Language
  System Overview', chapter 6-8 [command 'insight'])
* Isn't the SGI mechanism (repository...) the only safe way to handle
  templates and won't we expect djgpp to do it the same way some day?
* When is a new release gcc 2.7.0 ported to DOS?
* Where can I find a FAQ of this mailing list?
* Where can I find a FAQ or gnu documents concerning templates more elaborate
  than via info (to 2.6.0)

                       Thanks anyway, and merry Christmas, Sven.
