Lo all, Anyone here bought the mud game programming book by ron penton? I''ve worked through to the chapter on connection managers and protocols. This uses a lot of template code and for some reason I cannot get any of it to compile under vc++ 2003. Are there any known problems with the way vc++ 2003 handles template code? Or any program updates I''m not aware of. If nobodys got the book, or having a similar prob, I''ll dig out the error messages and post those to see if anyone has any ideas. I''m at work atm though so don''t have access to the code errors.

VC7.1 does a pretty good job with templates.
What errors do you get, precisely?

m, 7.1 is one of the better compilers
reality is only an option

Try
typedef typename std::list< Connection > clist;
typedef typename std::list< Connection >::iterator clistitr;


Older versions of Visual Studio were more lenient with that kind of things.

/emote hands over a virtual larger for good advice

Well I was on the right line for typename then, just adding it in the wrong place I''m only just starting my journey into using templates.

Anyhow, that resolves the main errors. Still getting others, but their no biggy. Cheers the help everyone, especially for such quick replys
