Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just looking for something to work on so I
can figure out OOP techniques. You've kind of hit the central point,
however, with your suggestion about not forcing OOP. Unfortunately I have
yet to find a methodology for analyzing a problem and determining whether
it's a good candidate for an OO approach or not. Suggestions welcomed. :-)
