[SunHELP] Help, a programming problem

[Lyndon Griffin]

C++ allows you to specify <strstream> instead of <strstream.h>, and is not
specific to that subset of functions.  Do be careful, however, when
selecting one or the other because they may not be the same.  It is also
important to select your namespace when using Sun compilers (there is a
section on this in the release notes for the Workshop 5 suite).  You
can either declare the namespace globally, as in:

namespace std;

or on an instance-by-instance basis, such as:

std::strstream str;

For most routine applications, it is sufficient to declare

using namespace std;

in one of your header files as a preprocessor conditional, like so:

#ifdef USING_SUN_PRO_5
using namespace std;
#endif //def USING_SUN_PRO_5
