I'm sure I'm not the only beginner facing this question and the most books
handle the technicalities of the language well but don't give any info like
this.
Probably this info will be in other more general progamming books I suppose?
I noticed the book 'Large scale programs with C++' or something from Addison
Wesley. I will look for a review. Maybe this is just the book I need for
questions like this.

Anyway, thanks a lot. It gives me something to think about.
