I don't know much about C++, but I remember how much Mozilla said their C++ coding changed from the old stuff (~1999) to the newer. They said much of the old code was considered ok at the time, but was just awful now. There was some specific feature (exceptions maybe? not sure at all) that they had rolled themselves and they where doing a lot of work to switch to the newer, standardized way, as well as other general clean up. All in all what I take from it is that it isn't so much the features, but how they are used. I think C++ just wasn't a really mature language till the early 2000s Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
