One question with the export keyword though, must this go on only the declaration? Does it then apply to all specializations in other translation units -- or must the specializations still be seen (in declaration only with export) in the translation unit that instantiates them? -- edA-qa mort-ora-y (Producer) Trostlos Records "What suffering would man know if not for his own?" --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
