Re: String.h

Thanks Mike et al.  I was trying to port some code that is using  "class
String" which I could find only in String.h...
I wanted to make sure, I am not doing configuration mistakes which prevents
me from using this classs.... I can always port this to some good String
utility classes found in ACE (www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt)

THANKS a bunch to everyone again!!!

Alex
