  Have you actually READ the January 1996 draft standard? It has moved 
ahead of the HP version of the STL. It now requires a compiler that can 
support template member functions of template classes, and I don't know 
whether such a thing exists.

  So, for example, the standard specifies a functor-aware sort() member 
function in the container list<>, but the HP one has no such thing.

  HP's version should be regarded as a demonstration prototype, and as far 
as I am aware it is no longer being upgraded.


>> Watcom C++ (I have one "not as-is"; is there a public port?)

  I ported the HP STL to the Watcom 10.0 compiler early last year. Later, 
Watcom released a new compiler version that can compile HP, and I received 
so little feedback from users of 10.0 that I decided not to keep my port 
up to date with the HP version.

  My port is still available at the original STL site, butler.hpl.hp.com 
as the file WAT_STL.ZIP. It contains a complete change list.
