Poor misunderstood C++! I don't think I misunderstand C++. I certainly don't grok OOP (probably because C++ is the only language I've formally studied that claims to be OOP). I love C because it is exactly what it is meant to me. I recognize its limitations. I dislike C++ because it retained all C's limitations and added a bunch of mumbo jumbo that is hellish to use, or at least to use without causing all kinds of trouble. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
