2.95 is very sloppy about the use of the namespace std.  I think 
it just makes it an alias for the global namespace.  Because of 
this, a lot of programs manage it wrong.

In 3.2, string, cout, and so on are in the std namespace.  To 
use it, you need to either prefix it, as in
	"std::cout" or "std::string",
or add a "using" statement 
	"using namespace std".
