"Doesn't seem to work" doesn't give us much to go on, you should always post
the error messages you are getting, but a couple of points:
- does VC++ 4.x even support the standard C++ library? I don't think so, but
I could be wrong.
- the header <string.h> is the header for old-style C functions such as
strvmp etc. not the standard string class - that is in <string>
