Are there really that many more libraries for C++? I'm not talking about data structures that you'd replace with builtins, I'm talking about high level libraries that deal with real world things. As a couple of examples, I went looking for something like smtplib. The only thing I turned up was a windows-only smtp/pop library. I also tried finding a C++ version of mailbox, and the best I could do was the GNU mailutils library. And that's in C, not C++. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
