Be careful what you ask.  Djgpp comes with two string classes:

The gnu string class, declared in _string.h (note the leading underscore), and
called String (w/ the first letter capitalized)

The standard library string class, declared in string.h (no leading underscore),
and called string (in all lower case letters)

I was working on a project that involved using strings, and it took me about two
weeks to solve all the problems I created by confusing the two string libraries.
