May be, I didn't try for myself. The problem could be either that you omitted
the #pragma interface directive, or that you have to declare you implementations
as inline explicitely.
Try to write the implementation code inside the class definition.

BTW why are you defining a container class (if not for study purposes), use STL
components. These will be much more reliable than your own implementations and
provide a lot of standard container types. 
I've not got it on my hand now, but if you're interested I can mail you where
to find good documentation on STL on request. The headers and implementations are 
already part of the DJGPP standard C++ environment.
