RE: will flex use new C++ includes

[Douglas Richardson]

Ok.

Perhaps if I rephrase my question, it will be more easily understood.

Is anyone maintaining flex or is it considered an ugly redheaded step child
because it is BSD license instead of GNU. If so, let me know so I can start
up another site that releases a maintained flex instead of a dead one.

Caution, there.  <string> was *not* the C++ replacement of <string.h>.  
That would have to be <cstring> instead.

<string> is part of the genuine C++ standard library.  It introduces a
class string, not the C string management functions.
