More on instantiation: a class/function is an instance of a template with 
the same name and some parameters.  An object is an instance of a data type.
If you have function overloading, then you can also call each declared 
function an instance of that function name.
Happy hacking!

Hi Jim,

OK, I wondered if it was that or a path problem.

I will probably get in trouble with some OO lawyer, but I instantiate
objects, which are instances of classes.  But no matter which is correct, I
know what you meant.

Regards,

Richard
