A couple more: The C++ Primer by Stanley B. Lippman is an excellent reference, but it is a couple of years old. I find that it is as relevant today as it was when I bought it (Note that I still use my original K&R I've had since 1978). Practical C++ Programming by Steve Oualline is also a decent book. This is quite readable. Steve lets his programming opinions be known. In the past, when equipped with Stroustrup and Lippman I've had no problems accomplishing what I want to do.

I also use a combination of Lipman and Strousup as my primary reference, They are just different enoug in approach that if you have difficulty with the explanation in one, then the other makes it clear. I happen to know that a new edition of Lipman in in the works, but when it's scheduled publication date is I don't know. alan -- http://www.ibgames.net/alan Registered Linux user #6822 http://counter.li.org Winding Down - Weekly Tech Newsletter - subscribe at http://www.ibgames.net/alan/winding/mailing.html
