I am from Australia as my address would point out, and have had Zortech C++
since it's release in July last year when they sent me a glossy telling me if
I give them all my money they will let me have a C++ compiler and we would live
happily ever after.... It appears not so, I found my C++ compiler on the door
soon after, great, I found that I couldn't fill in my rego card as I couldn't
find a serial #! So I rang Zortech and they said, just post it off. I rang them
two months after and asked where my Zortech newsletters where, they said 'real
soon now', still nothing. Now I read the comp.lang.c++ for the first time only
to find, it is now at Ver 1.7! I typed ZTCPP1 and found it said 1.4! Why
haven't ZTech said anything? I know this is a whing, but heck, I was under the
impression they would look after me.
I really admire Walter for his work and was very happy with Datalight's
service, they didn't go out of their way, but they at least helped when they
could. What are Zortech doing? Is it because of my location? My abscence (spel)
of rego #? HHEEEELLLLLPPPPP!

Now onto my second question, does anyone have any really useful C++ code that
I can view and run, I hate 4 line examples that tell you how to use the
function, but provide no coherent idea of what you can do with it that was
not possible in C. I understand that you can do anything in C that you can with
C++, but C++ should at least make it easier.

Lastly, is it me or are the Flash Graphics library functions documented by
monkey's? I could only understand how to use them after spending much time
looking at the demo program included with the distribution disks.
 Sorry if I grumbled too much,
Paul.
PS I just remembered another grumble, has anyone seen the bug in Zed where
the Menus are not always cleared away after exiting, sometimes the top line
remains, using the clean-up function (update) don't help any. It begins to
work again (clean automatically) after I do a compile. Odd, seems that a flag
must get set during compilation that triggers the code into life.....
