WinXP is really NT 5.1, so that must mean you have one OS running ON TOP 
of another.  It seems to me as though that is quite a trick.  Is this 
only possible with VMWare?  Who makes VMWare?

C++ doesn't allow two functions to coexist if their only difference is 
the return type.  Is this a hard-and-fast rule or are you familiar with 
a way around it.  I would love to have:

     structA * ClassB::get();
            and
     structB * ClassB::get();
