Hello,

	I am having touble trying to created an array of objects of 
class pnt using TC++.  My code is as follows:

class pnt {
	public:
		int X, Y, Z;
		pnt (int x = 0, int y = 0, int z = 0) {X=x; Y=y; Z=z;}
};

class	pnts {
	public:
		int Count;
		pnt Pnts [MAX_PNTS];  // pnt from above
		pnts (int count = 0) {Count = count;}
};

int	main (void)
{
	pnts	Points;
// ...

}

I recieve an error to the effect "cannot find pnt::pnt()" when I compile my
program.  I have tried to use several different methods for getting the 
code segment to work and have found not that will work.  The ARM gives a 
reference on page 289, section 12.6.1, but I still recieve the error
about "pnt::pnt() not found" when I use:
	
	pnt Pnts [MAX_PNTS] = {pnt ()}

Although the ARM talks of initializing the array of objects, it talks
about not being able to initialize an array of objects with constructors.


	Sincerly
