Yes, I am.

However, I found that there is a problem when I try to include libraries from 
the STL. The trick was to include them like this:

// Include for use of stl
#pragma warning( push, 3)       // Avoid some messages
#include <string>               // STL strings
#include <iostream>             // STL io
#include <vector>
#pragma warning( pop )          // Restore warnings
using namespace std;            // Allows std namespace

And problem solved...
Thanks anyway. Cheers.
