I downloaded the ObjectSpace ToolKit which has an implementation of
the ANSI <string> class. I'll see if that will work on the SGI platform.
I have tried the SGI STL and the ObjectSpace STL and they both compile
a few of my programs using the vector container.

Right now I'm more concerned about getting a work around for 
the calculation in enums problem.
