Hi, at first, let me say that this isn't the right forum to ask general questions about C++. Therefore a newsgroup like comp.lang.c++.moderated would be more appropriate. Turbo C++ certainly was a good product but it stems from the days where there was no C++ standard set in stone. Well, nowadays there is: ANSI/ ISO 14882 Programming Language C++ (1998). The GCC folks try to strictly adhere to this standard. As I already suggested in my last message you should get a good book on programming in standard C++. (e.g. "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup) Regarding your question above, you should learn about namespaces. You can read about them here: http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/languages/C++/namespaces.html HTH Claudio
