You are right here, I confused that. Though I'd expect that similar problems exist for dispatching as well as for overloading. In both cases, it is necessary to decide which of several similar functions is the right one, overloading at compile time, dispatching (dynamic binding) at run-time. > Well, let's just say that it was appropriate that you posted your > message on October 31. ;-) Is there anything special about Oct 31? It is called "Reformation Day" here in Germany (has to do with Luther and Protestants), but I'm not sure you mean that or something else... Regards, -Joachim -- Looking for a new job.
