When will DJGPP support the > standard? DJGPP uses the latest ported version of the GNU C++ compiler and libraries. Its support for "standard" C++ depends entirely on the willingness of people to port the latest software. Work is in progress on a port of gcc 2.8.0, as well as the 2.8.0 libraries. When they are done, the packages will be added to the DJGPP distribution, and DJGPP will support as much of the standard as GNU has implemented. P.S.: Don't complain that DJGPP doesn't follow standards unless you are willing to offer proof that it doesn't. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
