    Hi friends,

    I am on the lookout for a string class. Since I use sometimes the pretty
    old BC++ 3.1 (not ansi c++, but AT&T C++), I would like to have somewhat
    that can be linked and/or compiled with that old compiler.

    Even, because I write most of my programs with eVC4, Coldfire GCC and
    BC++ 5 (not BCB5!) it should be less or more compatible to the methods
    of the std::string. So I could reuse code between different projects.

    Of course I did some google'ing and found some stuff. But my next idea
    was to hear some "live response" from this board.
    Some answers like "I use XYZ with BC++3.1 because ... " and "Do not use
    ABC, its not worth the time installing it, because ..." would be welcome
    to me.

    I am short on money and I write my stuff mostly for free use, so some
    "least cost" or some types of free licence would be very welcome ;-)

    - 1st I tried out the built in "class String" of BC, it is not much more
    than a helper class for containers.

    - 2nd I tried the "class str" of david nugent (3:632/348@fidonet). Seems
    to work fine, but nearly no methods are equal to std::string.

    - 3rd I took a look on "String++ Version 3.1" from Carl Moreland
    (compuserve:72137,2657). Same result.

    - 4th I tried on a very sdt::string - like class from a guy calling
    himself "robertnz". But this baby needs some love first before willingly
    to compile under BC31.

    Waht would you suggest me to use?
