set Elegant as the rest, but something i didn't already have. Also, SET are the initials of the author of one of my all-time favorite text editors.

Firefox? CodeProject? GreaseMonkey? A better Life?

I'll be a pedant and say 'the right one for the particular job I'm doing'.... Overall, though - vector, probably. I must implement a 'sorted vector as std::map replacement' sometime, to use instead of std::map/hash_map... Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

no there isn't that's why it's preferred :) I don't really like the STL container design, but they are "roughly ok". Yet, there's a tree I am missing frequently. So it is my favortie container because it doesn't exist and thus doesn#t have the drawbacks of the others.

I found that once you start using STL you don't want to go back to C++ that doesn't use it. There is an initial learning-curve but once you get some familiarity it actually makes for easier code. There will be an STL-like library (PowerCollections) available for C# 2, which I expect will be similarly productive. Kevin
