If you want to participate in development of free standard-conforming library components, the Egcs libstdc++-v3 project would welcome your efforts. As it happens, a conforming reference-counted string template is already done, though not heavily tested. It would benefit most by better safety, as it currently uses raw pointers as iterators. Class objects instead would give better type-safety, and even permit a compile-time debug option. -- Nathan Myers ncm@nospam.cantrip.org http://www.cantrip.org/ [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
