C++, on the other hand, is based on the philosophy that no programming paradigm is better than another. C++ perhaps has the advantage of being more important than Pascal in the industry, but that is changing more and more when people realize that other languages often make it possible to deliver code faster, code that has fewer bugs and is easier to maintain and extend. I like Java, Pascal and Eiffel. Just my two cents... -- Erik Alapaeae email: NOSPAM_f93-eaa@sm.luth.se
