Neither. C++ definitely has _NOT_ had _any_ standard 6months ago let alone 2 years ago. The guy is a clueless fool. I've heard (a rumor) that within the last couple of months (maybe December) the latest draft C++ proposal (not the old one that was laying around for the last 2-3 years) was accepted. I don't know if this is really true and if so if it is ANSI or ISO. OTOH, Common Lisp/CLOS was (AFAIK) the first true standardized OO language (1994 as opposed to Ada's 1995), though it was ANSI and not ISO. /Jon -- Jon Anthony Synquiry Technologies, Ltd., Belmont, MA 02178, 617.484.3383 "Nightmares - Ha!
