Basically, you need to get a book or other reference that will help you get a handle on the key differences. There are enough differences that you can't dive right in, but few enough that learning them is not very complicated. Actually, I would love to see a port of Circle into a C++ object-oriented code base. As I've Opined in previous posts, I think that MUDs in particular lend themselves easily to an O-O design. Since I barely have enough time for the hacking that I do now, I have not pursued this myself, but I will gladly cheer on any efforts in that direction. *grin* As to your other question...I can only answer for myself. I am a Senior Applications Developer for a consulting company. I also used to teach a C class at a technical college. I miss teaching, so I am usually quite happy to answer general C questions.
