Trying out

gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)

as per -current, I am trying to use a template:

export template <class monadType>
void stamp(monadType& a)
{
...

and get

syntax error before `template'

presumably from the "export". I am new to the c++ game, but thought I
had to "export" a template so that it may be instantiated in another
.cc text file. Is this not implemented in egcs (ie., I have to put the
code for the template in a header file) or am I missing something?

Cheers,

Patrick
