The Borland compiler I downloaded (the free one) came with an INCLUDE folder
and a LIB folder. The INCLUDE folder contains lots of header files in text
format,things like IOSTREAM.H that you #include in your source file. The LIB
folder appears to have a lot of compiled files (they AREN'T in text format)
My question is: Are those .lib files actually class definitions? Are those
.h files class declarations? Do those two folders (INCLUDE and LIB)
constitute what's called the "basic C++ library? All the FAQS and other
stuff I've read don't really explain this.

thanks,

Ken
