Thanks for the information. I did this in all my sources. But it seems
there is still a problem with stream... i.e. I get the following
output (I don't use guiding-decls)

I really don't understand the first two. and I can't get rid of the
last one even though I added this line in the barray.cpp code

template istream& operator>><double>(istream& , complex<double>& ) ;



Is there a problem with template instantiation ? Or am I still missing
something about the new draft. The first two errors are really strange
because I don't have any operator>> or operator<< (or any functions
with stream in them) in the vector.cpp source.

thanks
