Real quick question...
How the heck do you overload the '<<' operator in C++ to be used by
cout? I tried the following:
unsigned char * String::operator << (String instr) {
return (value);
}
The compiler sorta likes this, but later when I try to use it it pukes
(BTW, I'm using MSVC 5.0):
Compiling...

What am I doing wrong???
