[geeks] Quick VC++ question

[Drew Schatt]

This code fails on Sun's C compiler (Forte, at least version 7) as well.
It's a gcc/g++ specific "feature", I think.  You might want to use -ansi
-pedantic options on your gcc code to make sure that you're using actual
ansi code.
	I think that you'll have to declare a hash_map type, and use that.
hash_map is not a C/C++ built-in (as far as I know, never saw it one of my
Stroustrep(sp?) books).
