Thanks for the reply.
In this one line of  code

tstack<T>::link* p;

"tstack<T>::link " is a typename. so I can not give another name.

Actually, I got other ways to get around this problem.
But I am interested in this style as well.
The code I am experimenting came from Bruce Eckel's old book.
The 2nd edtion uses a different way from this.

Anyway the definition of "tstack<T>::link" is not created inside the class. it
is used only to  declare a private pointer variable named "head".Actually it is
NOT defined. I think that's why g++ (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 give the warning of
"implicite typename". But a new version, g++ 3.4.1, checks it out and send out a
error message of "../14/tstack.h:68: error: expected `;' before '*' token". I
don't have any idea of what this means. It does not make any sense at all.

Would you take a look at it and reply to me ?
I really appreciate it in advance.
Tyson
