I'm trying to compile the C++ interface to NetCDF with Microsoft Visual C++ 
(Win 95) Both the C and FORTRAN interfaces compiled without any problems using
the msoft.mak files that came with the NetCDF distribution. However, when I
try to compile the C++ files, the compiler reports that it can't find
strstream.h. This header file exists on all of our UNIX boxes, but doesn't
seem to exist with the Visual C++ compiler. Does anyone have any ideas
or work-arounds? Here is the top of the file where the error occurs:

#include <generic.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#ifdef STRSTREAM_H_SPEC
#   include STRSTREAM_H_SPEC
#else
#   include <strstream.h>
#endif

Is there a definition of STRSTREAM_H_SPEC that I could use to get around this
problem?
