Hi Koert,

Actually, no, your answer doesn't help at all but it made for entertaining reading and had a couple of good points. :)

True, C++ compilers run through a bunch of "C" files. (I can see it on a step through) And I agree that there are 'probably' not any OO Assemblers. (that would ultimately be pointless, I think.) Where does that leave us? I should probably direct the question to a C++ group since it is a chicken/egg sort of question.

Thanks just the same.

Don
