  but stl is not 'each new library'. stl is part of c++ standard.

We are in the middle of a project where we use STL. So I am learning the
tricks. STL is fine if you are prepared to spend the time it takes to
learn the ins and outs. If I had to spend similar amount of effort on
each
new library I'd never get to write anything.

Can you recommend an online-version of this information? Just names of
the
classes and their member functions and types in readable format. It
would
be very much appreciated (since at least SGI's on-line docs are lengthy,
but difficult to understand).
