Dave,

The Sun WorkShop Compiler C++ 4.2 is based on "The Annotated C++ 
Reference Manual" (ARM) by Ellis and Stroustrup definition
of the language.  Sun does not provide an implementation of the 
STL for use with this version of the compiler.

There are two implementations of the STL that I am aware of which
are commercially supported by their respective vendors for use 
with this compiler.  These are:

	* Rogue Wave's Standard C++ Library
	  http://www.roguewave.com/

	* ObjectSpace's Standards<ToolKit>
	  http://www.objectspace.com/

There may be others, but I am unaware of them.  (I would like to
learn about any that others know about.)

Also, there is a public domain implementation that is reported
to work with the C++ 4.2 compiler.  It is based on SGI's 
implementation, and can be found at:

	http://corp.metabyte.com/~fbp/stl/index.html

I have not used this implementation, so I cannot make any 
comments about it. (Again, I would like to know about other
implementations that might be available.)

As for future support of the SCL, due to company policy, I can 
not discuss futures information in a public forum.  Please 
contact your Sun Microsystems, Inc representative for more 
information.

Hope this helps,
Ben
