  Oh, that's for sure. I guess I just have a "sausage 
  problem" with C++ ( you, know, people who make 'em,
  can't eat 'em ) since I've been involved in C++ compiler
  development for quite some time. Since then, I'm
  a pure C diehard but I miss very basic functionality
  of what was known as "C with classes" from time to time.

  That'll be wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks,
Roman.
