Much as I think the other poster is breaking records in c.l.c for being
a big headed know all, I must concur with him that the notation leaves a
lot to be desired. I for one must assume that your maintenance of other
peoples code is minimum since the C++ reference notations leaves a LOT
to be desired when reading the code. I have to agree with Kelsey - at
the top level you really have NO idea what is happening to the
variables. We wont even get into operator overloading and people abusing
that. it#s certainly nigh on impossible to read C++ code from a printout
unless you have the brain and recall abilities of a super computer.
