Hi John, You question is very odd one. .cpp and source files that we compile into applications or plugins, and .osg files a data files that our application load - they are totally different in form and function so have to wonder what you expectations are, and what your background experience is. Are you a programmer? A modeller? What are you trying to achieve with the OSG?
