Comments on Sources:

Most of the sources were originally developed on the Mac using CodeWarrior version 9. Most have been tested on a unix system using g++ version 2.7.2.

On some systems (such as g++) a confusion can arise between multiple definitions of the string relational operators other than less-than -- this is due to a template definition that redefines all other operators in terms of the less than operator. The only solution I've found is to only use the less-than operator with strings.

The const operator (and lack thereof in my code) causes some difficulties on some systems. So far I haven't been able to find a consistent pattern to follow in describing the changes that need to be made to the code provided here.

CodeWarrior 11 seems to be a giant step backwards. Containers must be declared with allocators, and if you use nonstandard elements (such as pointers) you must declare iterator traits classes. I have not attempted to update the sources for this platform, as metroworks claims that many of these problems will be fixed in CW 12. (locally, we didn't install CW 11, and still use CW 10).

Finally, if anybody wishes to describe how the sources must be modified for any particular platform, send me a message at budd@cs.orst.edu.
