Infact not really like sub-classing at all. Embeding is putting structs inside other structs and has nothing to do with the methods associated with those structs. It's almost exactly like you'd do it in C except a bit nicer. The problem with inheritance has nothing to do with the data structures and everything to do with the methods. - Jessta -- ===================== http://jessta.id.au
