I agree with DJ. These languages are all toolkits. When you have a toolkit, you get to decide what tools to use. One fundamental concept of C++ is "what you don't use, you don't pay for". Historically, there have been parts of C++ that not all compilers implemented, leading to perceived portability problems. That's not really a problem any more, but even if it was, just avoid those features. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
