A structure name is a type name in C++. No need for typedef.

In C++, a constant with no extra specificiers has file scope, by default.

So,
=09const int dummy =3D 10;

is strictly the same as

=09static const int dummy =3D 10;

Therefore, if you need the "static" specifier for Objective-C++, we can't
add it but it's not necessary.

Cool. Probably, we could just commit your MacOS X port into CVS ? What
about the Windows version as well ?

Nigel, I forgot to report it to you. The binary you sent me would not want
to save the prefs and therefore, when I try to run the emulator, I get an
error about the ROM that could not be found.

I don't object but hey, Christian has full powers ;-)
