Does anyone teach C++ to senior high school students using Turbo C++
v4.5 for Windows?

If so how much of it do you teach? By that I mean, aside from the
basics of C and C++ programming (basic control structures, arrays,
pointers and functions) do you also get into: classes, inherited
classes, templates, using the Borland container classes, OWL (Windows)
programming?

We currently teach a "data structures" course using Turbo C v2.x and
are exploring the possibility of switching to C++ and OOP. I am
wondering how far we can take this in high school, as there seems to be
so much to cover and so little time! (In the past it took the majority
of our time to cover stacks / queues / linked lists / trees / etc., so
how can we fit in all the new OOP and OWL stuff? Or "should" we even
try?

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
