libg++ has a class named String, written by Doug Lea back in 1988 or so,
which has nothing to do with the standard.  libg++ 2.6.2 has a class named
string (lower case s, as in the standard) that attempts to match the
ANSI/ISO working paper (any differences/errors/bugs should go to
bug-libg++@prep.ai.mit.edu, not this group).  It appears that libg++ is in
the process of splitting between "old libg++" and a standard library,
named libstdc++, the latter part of which will provide everything ANSI/ISO
requires.

Where can I find the declaration for the proposed String class which
is to be part of the C++ Standard Library (note: not the STL)?  I've
checked various ftp sites mentioned in this newsgroup, but they tend
to point to the STL and not to the standard C++ library.

I've heard a rumor on this newsgroup that the glib++ implementation
closely matches that of the not-yet-official String class.  How
closely do they match?  Where can I find the actual standard itself?

In late April, a draft standard will be made available on a public FTP
site. To find out how you can get a copy, and how to submit comments
for consideration by the ANSI C++ Committee X3J16, send email to
 c++std-notify@research.att.com

You will be placed on a mailing list, and will be notified automatically
when the draft is available and where to get it, along with instructions
for submitting comments.

The "notify" address serves only to place you on a notification mailing
list. The contents of your email will not be read or saved.
