You know, I have been reading these posts, and coming from someone lucky enough to HAVE a c/c++ programmer as one of the imps, I feel I have a certian luxury not all people have. A different solution to this would be to go through the mailing list archives, and weed out the posts that are off-topic (as this entire thread really is) and have the "pure" coding information and straight information posts available to download. Kind of as a first stop question place. It could be HTML-ized and placed on a server somewhere, so people had a place to go and look at other people's public solutions to the usual problems (ie I want more classes, etc). The project would be fairly simple once going, but a real pain to initiate (mainly coding the original HTML information, and gathering the same). If people are truly interested in this (and I suppose since I *did* after all open my mouth the least I could do is volenteer) I could set up such a site, and maintain it. David
