Cool! Nice to know it at least will work sometimes. :-) Don't be
surprised to hear from me if I have more specific questions on your usage.
You just got yourself branded a vpcc in C++ mode expert in my book. :-)

That might be the "constructor" problem I'm thinking of. I thought it had
something to do with calling constructors with other than default (or no)
parameters.

I've gotten some other e-mail from the list that sheds some light on the
problems I was having. I'll know more tonight when I get home from work.

Thanks for letting me know about your experiences. I'm feeling more
encouraged about vpcc than I have since I first tried compiling with it.
:-)

Regards,
Greg
