I just ran this code on my Win98 box, using MetroWerks CW 5:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std; //introduces namespace std

int main ( void )
{
	std::string s = "cat";
	cout << "Length of s is " << s.length() << endl;
	s = std::string(s.begin(), s.end() - 1);
	cout << "here comes s: \n";
	cout << s << endl;
	return 0;
}

Here is the output:

Length of s is 3
here comes s: 
ca


I think that the standard namespace is available on my Win98 machine.

Scary, huh?
