    I'm NOT a guru.  Can't even call myself a programmer but I'd like to take 
this opportunity to pay tribute to the authors who have written good, 
explanatory books on C++.  I have committed myself to learning it this year 
and fortunately came across a discounted copy of the EXCELLENT book by 
Borland employee, Michael Hyman, one of those generous REAL programmers with 
interest and sympathy for learners (some others exist here on this and the 
C_echo)  Mr. Hyman's book gave me my final commitment to learn C++.  For the 
first time in a C style language I saw a profesional naming his variables 
with such symbols as "FirstName" or "DesiredObject" which has always been a 
tendency I had in learning in any computer langauge.  His book, _Borland C++ 
for Dummies_ is one of the IDG books but is FAR superior to any of the 
Dummies books I have on programming and I have a few.  Fortunately it only 
set me back ten bucks but is worth MUCH more than that.  I hope to locate an 
address for him some day to thank him.  He WAS an employee of Borland but I 
don't know if he still is today.  I happen to have an old Borland C++ 
compiler and do not need to be concerned with portability as I only do it as 
a personal hobby.
                            Sincerely,
                                            Frank
