Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Re: My code does crash, but not as often as you think.
But you will have a tough time convincing me that these other languages bandied about in this thread as panaceas to all the ills of programming ever foisted upon mankind are without their own set of problems, peculiarities, and pecadilloes.

Answer #1: especially if you never try them out.
Answer #2: I don't think anyone is trying to convince you of that. What we are trying to convince you of is the fact that C++ has serious problems, much more so than other languages.

Still waiting for you to respond to the two large posts that Todd and I put together for you, BTW.
Regards,

-scott anderson
