WOW, I just started study on Object Oriented Programming the C++ way this week. Boy, that's a step up from my VB knowledge. VB must really hide this pretty well within its application and I suspect I've been using it all the time with VB, but never really knew it. Well, I hope this gets better, because now it looks like JADE LSG may migrate to C++ code from VB. This would make some of the long, hard crunching algorithms much faster. Some of the stuff I'm doing is taking forever....  "COME ON!!! I don't have all century!" ...  sheesh.
