I downloaded a tutorial yesterday and I tend to agree with you. There are a 
few nice things that 'tidy-up' the C language but I fail to see the 
advantages of this object orientated approach (OOA). At first I thought the 
class construct could be useful but later realized it didn't really offer 
anything in addition to C and indeed it offered some significant 
disadvantages. Perhaps I will learn to appreciate the subtleties of C++ and 
the OOA with time but I think the improvements offered by C++ do not justify 
the overheads it incurs.
Jr,
