Are you sure that this is more efficient? cout << "My first line" << endl << "My second line"; has proven LESS efficient and I suspect the flush caused by encountering \n will have the same effect. Of course, the differences are tiny in practice. I view the newl as much clearer. And the concept that endl actually writes the buffered output doesn't seem too complicated. As a non-C programmer, "\n" looks plain nasty to me :-( Paul Paul A Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 Mobile +44 7714 33 02 04 Mobile mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
