PP> chrissake??? Looks like a damn Pascallian variable name! ;-)) One of the
PP> suggested "fix" for the "= 0" is to "add" a keyword like this:
    Remeber who C++ was invented. It was supposed to be a scripting
    language for a video game. The operator/programmer got tired of
    having to go to another machine to compile and then having the 
    program stored on paper tape. This new scripting language was
    then turned into a compiled language for speed issue. The game
    project fell flat and UNIX started. The word UNIX is actually
    a play on words: it is derived from an emasculated version of MULTIX.
    Anywas, If you don't have a screen and have to use a teletype to
    "see" what you've done you might tend to make a symbol for all words.
    C++ is crypting and has many pitfalls.

    constuctors/destuctors are not automatically called, this is my big
    gripe about TPascal's objects: I still like TP's stack/range/io checking.

    In c++ IOS object are most likely to have multiple inheritence.
    I personally find multiple inheritence to be confusing. Eg:
      you have two objects with the same parent
      you have a base interface function "something" that is
      overrided by each child
    Which "something" function would be used be an object that
    inherited both of the parents
     a
    / \
   b   c
   \   /
     d
    You also have to stipulat in B & C that the inherited A class is to
    be static so that A is not inherited like so:
    a   a
    |   |
    b   c
    \  /
     d
    Moreover, Java does not support multiple inheritence but is support
    multiple interfaces - and even stranger to fake multiple inheritence.
