Hi Haresh,
HA>"dangerous" is it once the project gets huge. Does one have to be an

I think these project was started with engineers without experience with
C++. If yout try to use a little bit OOP and many C in C++ - you'll fail.
Most people think, if programming with OOP-languages, they don't need a
good design. It isn't so. The design in OOP programming is very, very
importand. And you must know, how to use C++. Remember C++ isn't C!
But if the design is ok, the product will be too.
We have a 15 man year project completed with C++. And another 30 man
year project is in work. I think C++ is very powerfull for big projects,
but you must have good designers.
Adios
