Windows CE platform builder ships with some STL headers, I'd
assume it's the dinkumware STL some older version.

What updates do I need to apply (if any)?

Btw, why doesn't platform builder ship with the same STL
as Visual Studio.Net?

The C library that ships with CE implements FILE io using only Win32
system calls -- no library-level buffering. As a result, the C++
iostream code doesn't have anything to hook into for fstreams. So the CE
folks shipped the stuff they could get to work, and skipped the stuff
that's hard.

If you need iostreams, take a look at our library for CE -- fully
conforming C and C++ libraries.
