Thanks Michael I think I'm going to put this to bed as nobody seem to be getting the point. Perhaps I may bring it up again at the meeting or if/when I get the website up and running.
But just before I do put this to bed I'll have a last go at defining what I'm looking for:- 1) I know what I want to do. 2) I know how to approch it in BASIC but upto date OS's and GUI's don't easley mesh with BASIC 3) OO seems to be the way we all have to go to mesh with GUI's (X, OS X, and Windows) but I think that OO is not right for this projects so I need input from the OO camp to iver find a way to interface non OO code and data to a OO programmed GUI or to convert my data structure to Objects so I can use OO. So: Can the OO camp answer the question proving what thay say that OO is good for big complex problems. Or perhaps OO is NO!!! good. I have given the data structure all I want is that data structure expressed as Objects?
