Not sure that's the _only_ problem with C++. :) But I won't start a language war. :) On OS X, there are some downsides to choosing C++: one is that the tools support is not as good. Xcode's refactoring does not support C++, the debugger doesn't play nice with STL containers, the STL Debug mode is broken on 10.6, etc., etc. C++ support is good, but it's not great. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
