- Hi,
- I wonder is anybody using the above book. I have some problems with the
- virtual functions code in the ErrReporter class as well as problems with
- the BoyerMoore search class. I am using the code with BC++ 3.1 and windows
- programming. The program I'm writing hangs when I search for certain pattern
- with the BoyerMoore class but works perfectly fine when I substitute in the
- GREP functions using the excellent shareware GREP.DLL from Chris Roberts.
- The ErrReporter class fails to report anything to me because the derived
- WinErrReporter (similar to DosErrReporter class in the book) gets truncated
- when I try to set the errorhandler to this object.
- I hope someone can provide me the internet/compuserve address of Scott Ladd
- so that I can find out what's wrong with the class libraries. The book says
- that all code has been tested with BC++3.0, but is it compatible with BC++
- 3.1 and windows programming? I spent quite an amount on this book and so I
- would like to see my investments not failing on me. I have spend many days on
- trying to figure out what's wrong but to no avail, need somebody like Scott
- to point me out there. Please give me some leads on how to contact the great
- Scott Ladd, I have nearly given up hope on the code in this book-no offense
- meant.

- Thanks in advance
