Some things have, of course, slipped my mind. I login from lots of places -- home, school, work, etc. and would rather have an online reference of the kind that there is with C. > 2 - read the header files in /usr/include/g++ > > (Unless I'm missing some man pages that someone has miraculously found) Well, header files can maybe explain syntax, but they rarely do a good job of explaining how to use the function or whatever.. I did find a GNUinfo file on IOStream. BTW, what's the deal with gcc capitalizing stuff that isn't capitol in Borland or Watcom compilers? > > -Dave Andersen > > -- > angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented > system administration Internet services.
