Without comment on the rest of the discussion thread, I *can* say that the NIH class library is very easily available from Austin Code Works, for $35. That's cheap enough that I wouldn't think twice about buying it for home use, if my employer didn't already have it :-) Although I might not agree with all the design decisions made in the library, it is VERY robust code, aged in hardwood vats (well...), and provides a C++ neophyte with plenty of real working code to read (which, alas, many of the books on the subject don't. I'm not saying which books... :) :) :) :) -- John T.
