I would guess that Stroustrup is upset by the same thing I am ... more non-standard extensions to the language that are being introduced in droves, while the original Standard is still not being complied with. (Yes, yes, I know ... MS is supposed to be releasing a SP ... blah blah ... the point at which I believe MS is interested in the Standard is when I see a Standard-compliant VC++.) All in all, this is a legitimate complaint to me. Brandon

Now that is a valid thing to bitch about. However, that isn't Microsoft's fault. :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...
