I had nothing better to do, so I decided to screw around with the code Narue posted. You're correct in that g++ gives an error when compiling the 'pause' class. Try renaming the entire 'pause' class to something else, perhaps pause2 (in other words, do an entire find and replace with 'pause'), and it'll compile fine. I asked Narue about this on IRC, and she figured it was probably some gcc/g++ extension that was messing things up (which is obviously the only real possibility here).

Thank you John A and Narue.
I never would have thought of something like that since I'm a noob. I don't know enough to decide between windows, linux and the different compilers who is complying with c++ standards and who is not fully compliant. You are a real help.
Thanks for the hard work coding this and thanks for looking into my g++ problem.

it is not some gcc/g++ extension; it is POSIX

Posting Whiz
That's why Edward puts as much code as possible in namespaces. Compilers are bad about including all kinds of unexpected stuff in the standard headers, so even if you don't include unistd.h yourself, iostream or another standard header might do it for you and create a name conflict.
If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking until you do succeed.

I can not find unistd.h anywhere on my system.
So let me see if I understand this.
POSIX is the linux API just like there's a Windows API.
By changing pause to pause2, we have something that complies to c++ standards, Windows API standards, and POSIX standards.
Is that how it works? I guess just learning c++ will not be enough if I want to program cross platform?
Is one or the other of the above mentioned not 100% following standards or is that just the way it works?
Sorry so many questions but I don't understand this type of issue yet. Tell me if I'm way off in my way of thinking. Is this even a standards issue or something else?
Thanks
