You may be aware of this, but just to be clear, a function with the same name but a different signature in a derived class hides the function with the same name in the base class, and does not overload it. You can only overload functions in the same scope. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles: try just posting with ] [ your news-reader.
