    Unhappy Error C 2955

    I'm trying to create a class template for arrays. The code mostly compiles ok except for the overloaded [] operator. This gives a C 2955 error in MSVC 6, but I don't understand why. The help file wasn't much help. Any ideas? Code below. Thanks.

    Header File
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    template <class T>
    class t_Array  
    {
    public:
    	t_Array(int = 10);
    	virtual ~t_Array();
    	T &operator[](int);
    
    private:
    	T *ptr;
    	int size;
    };
    Implementation File
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cassert>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    #include "t_Array.h"
    
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Construction/Destruction
    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    
    template <class T>
    t_Array<T>::t_Array(int arraySize)
    {
    	size = (arraySize > 1 ? arraySize : 10);
    	ptr = new T[size];
    	assert(ptr != 0);
    }
    
    template <class T>
    t_Array<T>::~t_Array()
    {
    	delete [] ptr;
    }
    
    template <class T>
    T &t_Array::operator[](int subscript) // This is line 30 in error msg
    {
    	assert(1 <= subscript && subscript < size);
    	return ptr[subscript];
    }
    Error Message

    t_Array.cpp
    d:\documents and settings\cis-staff\desktop\greg\t_array\t_array.cpp(30) : error C2955: 't_Array' : use of class template requires template argument list

    Yeah, did that, but the explanation there wasn't very helpful. Thanks.
