Hi Geoff

When you talk about string objects do you mean instances of the ANSI
string
class (basic_string) or is this a special SDO designed string class?

I didn't include enough detail. I meant a class that we will define that
will be a wrapper (prety much) for the basic_string class.

Also why is this an either/or? It would seem like a useful thing to have
an
interface that allows string objects to be used but not sure I would want
to
loose the ability to use C strings as well.

You are right. It wasn't my intention to remove the existing interface. My
question was whether to make the changes purely to the internals (so no user
visible use of string objects at all) or to add (as you describe) additional
methods that take string objects as arguments.

constructed
from a char* or a std::string,  and make the methods use the SDO string,
such that either char* or std::string can be input.


Makes sense to me. I'll go that route.

Geoff.
