NTL and standard library
While NTL is kind of "alien technology" with respect to C++ standard library, in fact it is largely inter-operable with it.
Iterators
Each NTL container (with exception of One) provides iterator access. All iterators satisfy STL requirements for random access iterators. This also means that most of STL (and STL based) algorithms can be used with NTL containers.
auto_ptr
Funny part about standard library and NTL relationship is that any known (and imaginable) implementation of auto_ptr is moveable - so you can store it into any flavor of containers. All you need to do is to mark an instantiation with the Moveable template.
Even better is that you do not need Vector of auto_ptr - because Array flavor will do the same job more comfortably.
