An earlier message mentioned that Zortech C++ 2.1 does not include support for iostreams. Is this true? iostreams is the standard form of input/output, and is much more convenient than streams. It would be a glaring ommission if true. -steve

Quite true, ZTC++ does not include iostreams. The reason is that it's
copyrighted by AT&T, and it is very difficult to produce a clone that's
"the same only different" to avoid being sued.
Iostreams is *not* part of the standard. There is a group working on
a specification for it for inclusion in the ANSI C++ standard, but it
isn't there yet. When a draft spec is available, we'll go to work to
implement it.CHRIS_LAVENDER_WADE@cup.portal.com (08/07/90)
