C/C++ developers are all over the place. It's a big mistake to equate C and C++ programmers. There's a substantial difference in approach between the two languages. In my observation, the number of C programmers >> the number of C++ programmers. What's worse, the number of people claiming to know C++ >> the number of people who actually understand the language. Thus a lot of alleged C++ is nothing more than bad C with 'OOP-sugar' sprinkled over the code. dave -- --The preceeding opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of --The MITRE Corporation or its sponsors. -- "A good plan violently executed -NOW- is better than a perfect plan -- next week" George Patton -- "Any damn fool can write a plan.
