Ack...blasphemy!! I hope it never gets ported to C++. C compilers usually support more options that do C++ compilers. Not that that C++ cant, the compiler technology just isnt quite there yet. C code also creates smaller and faster bins and should (imho) be the preferred choice anywhere performace and bin size are needed (ie. OS's, embedded code, etc.). Leave C++ and bloatware to Microsoft!!! Cheers! At 08:13 PM 11/4/00 -0600, you wrote: >>list... my son wants to convert it into C++...
