- Yeah, I would not run to the nearest book store and get the C++ version
- if you have any of the earlier versions. I just bought it mainly because
- silly me didn't have any of the earlier Sedgewick versions, and it made

- at
- work). And the critique was right, few of the samples would be called
- C++ classes. Heck, I guess most of us have implemented a TLinkedList
- classone or two times :-).
