Any plans for a new edition?  I am really struggling with converting all
of my old code to the new version.  I have the Stroustrup 3rd Edition, but
the examples are very simplistic and there is almost no help in identifying
what features have been changed/removed and what the new corresponding
ones are.  I would buy an updated edition of you book in a second.

There are a lot of books on the STL container classes, but I can't find
any good stuff on the rest of the standard.

I really liked the C++ IOStreams book by Teal, maybe he/she will
come out with a new version.

If only I could write it in a second... The best I can offer for the
short term is an up-to-date *reference* to the Standard C++ Library.
It's not very tutorial, but it is rather more readable than the FDIS
itself, and I'm trying to make it as accurate as possible. FWIW, I am
slowly getting caught up on book commitments.

I am looking for a good book on C++ Streams.  One that is very
thorough and covers more than just the iostreams.
Of paticular interest is sstream.

See my book, The Draft Standard C++ Library. It describes
sstream before it was templatized, but the description is
still pretty apt.
