Well, why does the /decl-specifier/ non-terminal use the undefined /template-specifier/ non-terminal? What should /template-specifier/ be? I *think* it might be /template-class-name/, but a guess is hardly optimal. Better yet, anyone here know of a more rigidly defined C++ grammar? That would be great!

It's rather frustrating! :) You know, I seem to recall that I did exactly the same thing. I fiddled around with the memory model, and maybe some other things.

This is not exactly the same symptoms as my case. I could not compile anything useing 'stream' objects regardless of whether I had edited the source.

Any suggestions? Yea, *finish* a program. Start with something simple like, "hello, world!" and fan out from there. Think of something that would be useful, like a special sort of "dir" command. Write that handy DOS command that Microsoft didn't want to bother with. And, again. KISS (keep it simple...)
