We have started doing some C++ development, and are considering
purchasing a library to provide some basic data types like
strings and lists.  We'd like some input on the following issues:
 
1. Can anyone recommend a basic class library for DOS?
 
2. Is the GNU C++ library a fairly safe standard to adopt?
 
3. What are your views on adopting a class library for basic
   data types before an ANSI C++ standard is published?  How
   can we isolate ourselves from non-standard class interfaces?
 
4. We have heard that Borland is thinking of porting the GNU C++
   class library to DOS.  Does anyone know anything about this?
 
Thanks for your comments!
