I will shortly be starting to learn C++ as part of my job and would like to carry it over into my home computing. I have heard a lot of good things about Think C and know that there is a lot of example source code floating around, but how close to C++ is it, really? Could I transfer what I learn at home to work, and vise versa, or should I go with something else? Any information would be greatly appreciated. -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: John Snow - MDC | any opinions are purely accidental :: Denver, Colorado | and not the fault of the management :: Try mailing to: [snow@salt.uu.net] or maybe [uunet!salt!snow]

Well, at the moment, the only other thing to go with is MPW (are you indedpendantly wealthy?). MPW C++ is a port of At&T's CFront, which means that it is (was... C++ has been upgraded. Anyone know when we will see a version of 2.1?) "standard" C++. Think C on the other hand, is a very nice implimentation of C, and has a really nice debugger. It has a few features of C++, but leaves out most of the really nice ones. You can play with objects, to a point. It is not C++ though. It looks as if someone added to C the extensions to pascal that Object Pascal does. +C -- Cory Kempf I do speak for the company (sometimes).
