It wants an iostream derived class, not just any class, and for that you need the standard C++ library. I'm not too keen on supporting compilers that don't conform to the ANSI C++ standard. If you want to compile a thread safe build, you would need an ANSI C++ compliant compiler. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
