Hear, Hear! In my small, insignificant opinion, I thought the creators of C++ were cracked for taking a small, concise, procedural, and beautiful, language like C and obfuscating (read: "corrupting") it with all that overloading stuff. Most of the class stuff can be implemented in C, though perhaps not as "transparently". They should have left well enough alone, and advocated languages that were/are OOPL by concept as well as design. I'll go away now. Dave -- Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
