I like it. :-) My experience with the STL is that I tend to be fixing STL compile errors on a regular basis in KDE CVS as new compilers are tested. In addition, the STL algorithms are more likely the cause of portability problems with older unix compilers I think. -- George Staikos KDE Developer http://www.kde.org/ Staikos Computing Services Inc. http://www.staikos.net/
