Thanks.

	I am using a pretty nice book at the moment.  "An Introduction
to Object Oriented Programming and C++" by Richard S. Wiener and Lewis
J. Pinson, Addison-Wesley 1988.  It has a nicely concise one chapter
overview on the theory and concepts of Object Oriented Programming,
and then swings into a comparison of the differences between C and C++.
After this, it has four chapters of more detailed implementation info
for C++.  It's readable and lends itself well to someone who can gain access
to on site help for explanations in detail.  I've been reading it for 
3 1/2 weeks and have been doing pretty fair.

	I didn't mention Mr. Stroustrup as his book should always be
at a relatively handy place at your side.

Hope this helps,
