Well than I suggest to read the Preface: A word of warning and encouragement: Don't worry if you don't understand this book completely on the first reading. We didn't understand it all on the first writing! ;-) No, you're right. It needs a lot of practise and nitty-gritty knowledge of C++ to apply patterns. But I have another reading suggestion: John Vlissides "Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied". He's one of the GoF and wrote this book as successor to the PatternBook. Many examples, good style, fun reading ... So long Thomas PS: No, I don't work for AW ;-) -- .''`. Obviously we do not want to leave zombies around. - W. R.
