	I have read the Programming in C++ book by Stephen Dewhurst and
Kathy T. Stark. Unfortionatly after completeting that book and a book on
C_Talk I had determined that I realy needed a language with a more dynamic
environment for my particular app so I had to scrap both. Although I never
got to program in C++ I did find the Dewhurst book fairly complete and too
the point. The book assumes you have a good working knowlege of C and
understatand OOPs to some degree. Although I did not try to compile and run
the examples in the book I did not notice any incongruities in them. The book
covers C++ V1.2 but only those features which will be found in V2.0. If someone
could document the differences between V1.2 and V2.0 it would help in
this case.
