If one defines a template as e.g.

  template <class T> class star {
	...
  };

and also define a real class with that same 'template' name, i.e.

  class star {
        ...
  };

the Borland C++ compiler (3.0) complains. Can anybody confirm if this 
is a Borland bug?

	I hope not, since it isn't a bug.  ARM, section 14.2:

	A class template name must be unique in a program and may not
	be declared to refer to any other template, class, function,
	object, value, or type in the same scope.
