What appears to be useful Standard Template Library links:

• http://www.informatik.uni-siegen.de/softdocs/stl/tutorial.html
• http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/stl/os_examples/examples.html
• http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/stlintroduction.asp
• In Visual Studio, you can search for specific library components, or try "STL sample programs" for some examples. You should be able to ignore the "use the GX compiler option" for the samples to work. Another helpful hint with STL and VC 5 (maybe 6 as well), is to include the pragma line

  #pragma warning(disable:4786)
  

  in the header files/source files that use STL templates (like other preproccessor directives, the # must appear in the first column of the source file). This disables warnings about very long identifiers which are generated by the template libraries.

Getting example files

   H:\DOWNLOAD\wmacevoy\cs2

• If you wish to get a small number of files and are using netscape, you can enter the following url:
  ftp://[email protected]/dosapps/dosapps/DOWNLOAD/wmacevoy/cs2
  Right-clicking on selected files will allow you to save them to a local folder.

  Saving your version of the above link as a favorite could save you time later.
  
  

• More generally, use a tool like WS-FTP to open an FTP connection to students.mesastate.edu

  Once you are logged in, change the remote directory to

     /dosapps/dosapps/download/wmacevoy/cs2
  

  You can quickly download whole file directories this way.
  
  
• For the stout-hearted, there is a command line version of ftp available in windows. A typical session would look like this (you type the italics from a command prompt):
  
  C:\> cd \local\save\directory
  C:\local\save\directory\> ftp students.mesastate.edu
  Name (some default name): username
  Password: password
  ftp> cd /dosapps/dosapps/DOWNLOAD/wmacevoy/cs2
  ftp> cd University
  ftp> binary
  ftp> prompt
  ftp> mget *
  ftp> quit
  C:\local\save\directory\>
