   Actually, I have yet to download anything new from Metroworks and
have been using C++ since the yaroze was first available in North
America.  I believe the library was in a directory on the CD... anyway,
it had C++ in the name of it and once I put it into my project,
everything has worked fine.
Admittedly, all I have used it for so far is for menus and other things
where speed is not cruicial... just in case.
