In general, it is not a good idea to try to make a straight translation from one language to another, especially between a very dynamic one like Python to a very static one like C++ [1]. You might be able to do a straight translation of some of the design, but soon you would find yourself working against the language and missing out on its good features. I think you'd be better off starting from scratch. (Or maybe not really from scratch; having done a working version of the program once and maybe having working tests is worth a lot.) /Jorgen [1] You might find C++ templates useful, though. -- // Jorgen Grahn <jgrahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ algonet.se> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
