Well I went for a walk to the bookshop and browsed through some C++ texts
there and discovered a mind-blowing book called:
"Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied"
Andrei Alexandrescu
Addison Wesley
C++ in depth series
QA76.73.C153 A42 2001
ISBN 0-201-70431-5

So I'll have a bit of light reading for the weekend. Just browsing the
first 6 pages of the first chapter had weird and wonderful chemical
signals flooding through my synapses!
Cheers,
Allan. (ARRae)
