Re: Beginer problem: variable array size

["Marin David Condic" <mcondic.auntie.spam@acm.org>]

That might be a reasonable answer short-term, but long range, if you ask
folks to go read a book on STL, the attitude might become: "If I've got to
learn STL first in order to use this library then why not just use STL and
save myself the extra trouble?" This, by the way, is the same problem people
have when we Ada-philes suggest "Oh, but you can always bind to that C
library...." Its extra work and extra problems that the end user just
doesn't want to own.

I'm sure you've got a fine library here and I'm suggesting that if you take
some time to write even a cursory user's manual, that will help make it its
own thing rather than a "me too" venture.
