CR> Frank, you haven't messaged back about the last version of the
 CR> calculator. I was hoping you'd have some questions or
 CR> comments.
 CR> One area where it was still weak is in the input. The user
 CR> could input a value that might be bad. This could lead to some
 CR> problems. I have modified the program again to fix this. I
 CR> added a function getint()
 CR> After this I think it is in pretty good shape--for a C
 CR> program. It is now time to do a conversion to C++, if you want
 CR> to. The first thing to
 CR> the objects involved? How do the objects interact? Those are
 CR> the sort of questions to answer. If you want to work through
 CR> this a step at a time, post a message with your view of the
 CR> objects involved. You'll find you have to look at the problem
 CR> in a way different from C.

        Cliff, what I am all of a sudden suffering with great
pleasure, here, is an "embarrassment of riches."  You led the field
in a rush to help me which has, luckily for me, become something of
an avalanche and believe me I'm struggling as hard as I can to
encompass everything.  You may rest assurred that I have no
intention of letting any of your instructions be wasted  I'll be
posting just as soon as I can get some principles CLEARLY in mind.
Please accept my tremendous gratitude and expect me back as soon as
I have something to ask further about.  You guys have really
showered me with help and I wonder that I waited so long to post
something and ask for help.  I'm still dealing with all of it,
believe me.  Checked out another C++ book from the library even
today to add to ones I've purchased.  Blessed be Fidonet!!
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
