I have recently decided to try out digital mars.  I have found it to be an
outstanding alternative to gcc on win32.
I am, however having problems with stlport.
The documentation seems to state that just unpacking it an setting your include
directory with the stlport dir first is all you need to do.
However when I try to compile I get the following errors:
________________________________________________________________________________

Fatal error: too many errors

Without the -A I get no errors and the c++ file compiles and links cleanly.

1. What do these errors signify?
2. Do I need to compile stlport as per stlports own documentation?
3. Do I need to apply the diff.txt file that comes with the 4.5.3 digital mars
port?
4. Do I need to compile iostreams?
5. Does the CD version come with STLport pre-compiled and ready to go?
6. If I don't use "-A" compile option is digital mars using STLport?

Any information you can give me to resolve these issues would be appreciated.
Maybe this could help others as well.
Thanks;
Ben

 Without the -A I get no errors and the c++ file compiles and links

cleanly.
 1. What do these errors signify?

That the stlport files are not strictly ansi compatible.

 2. Do I need to compile stlport as per stlports own documentation?

No. Just leave off the -A switch.

 3. Do I need to apply the diff.txt file that comes with the 4.5.3 digital

mars
 port?

No.

 4. Do I need to compile iostreams?

No. Just use the included library.

 5. Does the CD version come with STLport pre-compiled and ready to go?

Yes.

 6. If I don't use "-A" compile option is digital mars using STLport?

Yes.

 Any information you can give me to resolve these issues would be
