Hmmm. Well I don't see how it worked in vis 2003 ok. Any way what would be the best way to make this class. Basically I want a class that holds global data (i.e. current save, current map and stuff like that) which is client side only (like g_pGlobals).

I'm with Jay, from what you've shown it doesn't look like that code should work in any compiler. typedef PD_GlobalData* PD_GlobalDataInterface; Would make more sense at least.
