Hi Bernhard,

BD>        virtual int operator< (Base &) const;   // less than operator for
Ba
BD>        virtual int operator< (const TestInt &) const;  // overide Base

this aren't the same methods because the parameter listes differ.
If calls refer to a Base* (as in your example), always the method
"virtual int opertor< (Base&) const" will be called, never the other
one, because its paramters doesn't match.
You see?

Adios
