You didn't get the point. But thank you for the advice about posting to Microsoft groups. Although I am sure that you were suggesting that for entirely wrong reasons. Posting to a Microsoft group could in principle be useful for getting some action going so that the same C++ code could be used portably in Windows and Linux (at least). However, I know from experience that such postings are met with hate and disdain from the fanboys that frequent the MS groups. Similarly, Microsoft's very practical suggestion to have source code files start with a BOM, is ridiculed in the *nix Unicode FAQ and other *nix documents. So there's much hate and idiocy on both sides of that historical conflict. I'd rather avoid that. Folks who read this group can instead learn a lot about C++, and help to influence the future, by reading good blogs such as mine. ;-) http://alfps.wordpress.com/?p=356&shareadraft=4ece5380818f3 Cheers & hth., - Alf
