As I understood this (that's a disclaimer), if you include the "legacy" headers, i.e. <xxx.h>, you get the names in the global namespace and it's only if you include the "new" headers, i.e. <xxx>, that you need the std:: qualifier or a "using" declaration. Of course, people may now be using the new headers without then using the std:: qualifier, since gcc 2.95.3 allows this. But they're wrong already :-) (not that that ever stopped someone complaining). Or have they abandoned the legacy headers altogether? // Conrad
