Thanks. I had clarified on that. :p
But it seems that the first one is a bit of the lazy type as it would
collect all the standard library in one. :p

Tom,

With your guide, I had done a search for Stroustrup's C++ programming book
and I felt great as I had finally pieces up evrything that was taught in
this newsgroup. :p
BTW, I had pick up some links which I think that it is useful. Thanks to Dr
Stroustrup.
A few basic uses of C++ introducing its standard library
http://www.research.att.com/~bs/3rd_tour2.pdf

compatibility with C and earlier versions of C++
http://www.research.att.com/~bs/3rd_compat.pdf

One of the best lesson that I ever learned. :p
I hope that these links would help the rest.
