In the application that I'm developing I'm using the Common C++ library as well as another library that uses std::string.

    When I put these two together, I get a large nmber of compiler error messages, as you can well imagine.  The first thought that I had was to create two global type conversion operators; from std::string to ost::String and from ost::String to std::string, so that I could continue to develop the application as I had been.  Aparently this is not as simple as I first imagined.

    What would the recommended course of action be to allow both libraries to co-exist in the same application? 

    Thanks in advance for any help that you may offer.
