I take a simplistic view after years of C++. C++ is good for large projects that need to be maintained into the future. Then the advantages of OO starts to kick in. For small projects that won't change much then C is the better choice IMO.
Second is size, C will generate smaller executables. C++ to do its things adds overhead that increases the size of the object files. Steve B. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene L.
