What I have not figured out yet is if you transfer an object that contains pointers to other objects, are the objects pointed to transfered as well. class Transaction : public Object { private: int counter; someObject *typeofdata; someOtherObject data; .. } I do not want typeofdata to be transfered in every transaction because that will be to much overhead. * Origin: Seaeast - Fidonet<->Usenet Gateway - sunbrk (1:343/15.0)
