On adding constructors

You may add constructors as you feel necessary. Note, however, that our solution does not utilize constructors beyond those already declared for you in our distribution.

On Linked Lists

You will not need to use linked lists for this assignment.

Miscellaneous startup issues

1. Problems with both the self-extracting archive and the application demo should now have been resolved. Sorry about that. We hadn't tested the distribution sufficiently on a wide variety of platforms.
2. It's important to note that the code you receive does not work out of the box. You will need to (at least) write stubs for all of the methods in order to have a runnable program.
3. The project file is currently designed to work only on MSVC 6. We'll keep you posted on when we get a MSVC 5 project file up.
4. To our knowledge, only MSVC supports the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) application framework. Let us know if you run across any other compilers that support it.
