Since Ravi is a long time member here, go to Who's Who and search for him. Click on the link that leads to his post history and select an interesting post to view. Click to reply to his post, then select Email rather than Reply, and type your message. He'll get it, and being the generally nice guy that he is, might just send you the C++ version if one exists, and if he has it handy. Alternatively, you could just wait here until he posts something and reply to him then. Ravi is usally around the Lounge at some time of the day, though with all the beautiful women he's got hanging on him as a rock star, he doesn't always have time to spend with us mere mortals. Will Rogers never met me.
