I'm sure you've had plenty of first time user`s complain and bitch
about the simplest C++ elements, and I'm sorry to have to follow in
their footsteps.

What I've got:
 I've just started using AT&T C++ 2.0 provided (or perhaps
mimiced) with the latest Saber C++ distribution (v 2.0.1)

What I want:
 I want to define inserters and extractors for my own classes,
and I have begun this adventure by writing a *simple* example.

What's wrong:
 My executable doesn't output the expected message, instead I
get the apparent address of the ostream.

The code:
    #include <iostream.h>

    typedef struct test{
      int a,b;
    } Test;

    main()
    {
      Test var;
      cout << &var << endl;
    }

    ostream& operator<<( ostream& out, Test& outVar) {
      return out << "help";
    }

The output:
   kgb@windchime% test_string
   0xf7fff910
   kgb@windchime%

I hope the changes required to fix this code, will also clear the path
of any extractor problems.
 -thanx in advance
