Get a compiler that understands C++. The ``declared but not used'' warning is not applicable to objects; the compiler should know enough to not generate it if the object has a constructor or a destructor. While waiting: pipe the compiler output through grep -v 'declared but not used'. -- James Kanze (+33) 88 14 49 00 email: kanze@gabi-soft.fr GABI Software, Sarl., 8 rue des Francs Bourgeois, 67000 Strasbourg, France Conseils en informatique industrielle-- --Beratung in industrieller Datenverarbeitung --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
