Great! somebody posted the following here a while ago. What's it do? I suppose I could figure it out if I added a bit of formatting and a few comments (yeah I know, I shouldn't be programming if the below isn't immediately obvious ..., and it isn't quite c++) Do you love reading pages and pages of this stuff? ================================================================== #include float o=0.075,h=1.5,T,r,O,l,I;int _,L=80,s=3200;main(){for(;s%L|| (h-=o,T= -2),s;4 -(r=O*O)<(l=I*I)|++ _==L&&write(1,(--s%L?_ So, then it becomes a matter of each group requiring that every programmer > on the project must use C++ standard library classes and containers. problem > fixed :) How do you enforce this - does C++ have a pragma Restrictions? Or do you rely on code reviews? Maybe you just don't employ beginners and fools (unfortuneately most of us have the occasional bad day). Geoff
