The standard release of the HP STL is based on Borland C++ 4.x, and will
work with Watcom C++ 10.5.  However, you need to get the Watcom port for
use with Watcom C++ 10.0.  For FReq (1:323/107) or download (+1 401 944

                             ported to Watcom C++ 10.0; use regular STL.ZIP

I highly recommend Nelson's book.
