Hi,
Yes, I am currently delighting myself with reading code. My preferred
pass-time ;-) I will send my questions and comments individually, as I go
along, unless you prefer me to put all the stuff together in one mail.

Enums: Do you mind explicitly assigning numbers to enum variables? I prefer
not to leave it up to the compiler, and it makes it more readable for the
less-versed C++ people. This would avoid the confusion of the first variable
being 0 or 1 in an enum list. And (oh no, again) I love to stack things...

    enum Weekday { Saturday = 1,
                   Sunday   = 2,
                   ...
                   Friday   = 7 } ;

Is it common to set Saturday as the first day in the week? Just that I can't
remember...

Regards
Gilbert
