    I do.  For a student, it's real expensive.

    A serious IDE?  What is a "serious" IDE?  It sure beats the
pants of the 
one my Borland compiler has.  It works fine with me - I have no complaints 
about it.  The OS/2 class library I agree with.  But I don't need it.

    This is true.

    And who wrote that rule?  And why?  Are you telling me that if I took the 
time to split it up (oh.. that would be a pain) it would be faster?  Would 
there be any advantages to it?

    As it stands, my .H file is 12k and my .CPP file is 82k.  Something wrong 
with that?

    I'm just curious. :)
