First off, ask the correct people.
Here in comp.lang.c, we discuss common use of the C programming
language, and have very little to do with C++.
You probably want comp.lang.c++, just down the hall, on the left.
If you use Google Groups, you might find it difficult to post
questions there; the google interface doesn't make it easy to post
to that newsgroup. If this is the case, try reading/posting from
another Usenet provider, like
aioe.org or
eternal-september.org
