Hmm... there are many reasons why C++ is better for OO coding. See the C++ FAQ. But still, I have nothing against pseudo-C++ (apart from the fact that it means you have to learn more stuff). > When you want actually to use the library in your application, > documentation fails.

I tried 'man Henrik' but nothing came up. > - list related functions Good idea. BTW if someone decides to do this, please do a text version as well as an HTML version (I hate html manuals - actually what I hate is that browsers aren't designed for viewing html manuals). Later, Sacha.
