I feel like I'm reading my own code sometimes :) Oh well, glad at least one person in the world can read the code then. As for some of the idioms you mention, they are quite popular (or used to be) in the Unix community. >There are definite differences though. You use structs where I use classes.

The differences are easily explained. As you might have noticed, Fruit is an ex ANSI-C program that was "stuffed" into .cpp files. That explains a lot especially why I have to prepend the "type" to most function names. I plan to slowly make use of more and more C++ features, but not in the near future. This should not be too difficult though, because my C style has become more and more "OO"-like over the years. >Anyway, I thought it was interesting :) Indeed! I do hope that it makes it easier for me to make changes. Of course I know I lose a bit of speed about everywhere in the code, but I don't mind for now. Fabien.
