Is there some restriction on instantiating objets of a base class? I
don't remember reading anything about that.
In my testapp.cc I am trying to instantiate an objet of class window and
get an error.
As a workaround I defined new class based on window (pov_window) and
then instantiated that class. The instantiation in just above the
declaration of main.
I had similar problem in the win_mgr.hh when I tried to create pointers
to window in the win_mgr class. It disappeared when I based win_mgr on
window( which is not really desirable  unless I can assign a pointer to
the window part of win_mgr to my window_list array.)

I am working in DJGPP.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Pleeeeease.
