This directory contains text files for all Listings in the book.
Files are named using their associated Listing numbers to 
simplify reference. As you would expect, code source files
have the extension .cpp while header files have the .h extension.
For example, the file representing Listing 5.VI (chapter 5, listing vi)
has 5vi.cpp as the filename.

In some cases, Listings in the text represent complete functions but
not complete programs. Where useful, a debug main() function has been added 
to the listing to simplify testing.

The files were created using a simple text editor and tabs or spacing
may appear different when displayed on your system. These differences
are only cosmetic and not important to the compiler. If displayed
on some Unix editors, a line-feed control character may display as '^M'
at the end of each line. Once again, this is ignored by compilers. 

In some cases, the name of a disk drive has been omitted for testing. For 
example, the listing in the text may indicate a file of "b:shirts.txt" while
the actual listing file in this directory may simply indicate "shirts.txt"

Where files a part of a multi-file project, the filename may need to be changed
to correctly correspond to the associated include statement. For example,
file "14iv.h" will need to be renamed "adv_set.h" to be used in a project
file with other sources. This renaming requirements are quite evident when
a particular project is examined.

Lastly, a variety of other C++ sources used in the development of both the 
first and second edition have been included in case they are helpful. These
files are all named beginning with a alphabetical character (as opposed to
the above chapter listings which begin with a numeric character).
