I have no need to keep the .h. I am just working through some of my
lessions from when I took a cpp class way back when. What I do not
understand is why the instructor taught it in an outdated style. The
class happened in fall 2002. I guess I will have to do some stfw to
figure out what I need to do.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
