(Remember, he's not a real doctor.)
Maintaining my coveted reputation as an all-knowing technical sage imposes a grueling travel schedule. No sooner had I returned from the Site Builder Conference than I was off to San Jose for the Professional Developers Conference. After my initial disappointment that they weren't going to distribute free computers, I discovered that the PDC was actually all about Microsoft's cool new distributed computing technologies, like DCOM, Windows NT Distributed Services, and Viper. When your distributed computing questions start arriving, Dr. GUI will be ready.
Now for a quick correction. In the Developer Network News, vol. 5, no. 6, Dr. GUI wrote:
"Thankfully, the designers of Visual C++ foresaw this problem and made a provision for forward declarations."
Alert reader Ethan Henry pointed out that not all cool C++ features were invented by the Visual C++ development team. Forward declarations are actually a feature of the C++ language, and as such they are implemented in Visual C++. Dr. GUI humbly apologizes for this oversight and wishes to set the record straight by assigning proper credit to the inventors of the C++ language, Orville and Wilbur Wright.
On to your questions!
