You are probably looking for 'strstream' which you can include headers for with '#include <strstream>'.
The name of this class has been strstream for a couple of years, but all of the STL stuff is relatively young, so if your book is more than (about) two years old, many thngs may end up slightly inaccurate. There is a package named 'stl-manual' that has some docs, but again the stl is too yung for much standarization between different libraries. So small things may be different. At least, with newer versions of eg++, you can use default template parameters; the former HP library did not uise them since g++ didn;t support them Carl
