I also trust the same can be done You're being too vague, again. Try to be more specific. It's a big program, with a lot of capabilities. Which ones are you thinking of, specifically? Writing [a?] comparable [program for?] C++ would be a big task, and of course it would never have exactly the same functionality; even if C++ were better in every possible way from java, and even if C++lassBrowser were better in every way than ClassBrowser, it wouldn't perform exactly the same tasks. So the question is, what are the differences that are relevant to your claim? If you're certain it can't be done, there must be many different specific and valuable capabilities of ClassBrowser that you think can't be provided for C++ code, using the lanuage as it's currently defined. Could you please identify just one of those capabilities, so we have some idea what you're talking about. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
