I have just posted var and VarMap to alt.sources and comp.sources.misc

Class var represents a string object class that also provides all the
traditional functionality of the C base types:  char, int, long, float,
double, and char*.  Var, is in many ways a "super-string" class.  The
var class does a pretty good job of offering a base data "container"
object that can either assume its "type" at run time, based on context
or remain a "fixed" type, always.

Class VarMap is an "associative array class."
Basicly, it lets you create a dynamic array of vars that are indexed by vars.
Cool, eh?

Var and VarMap were first written and posted to the net back in 1992.
Since then, I have received praise and requests for a package that will
take advantage of C++ 3.0's enhanced overloading abilities.
This version fixes an obscure bug, improves the speed of
execution, and will work well using C++ 2.0, 2.1, 3.0 or g++

Both var and VarMap have been extensively tested on Sun and HP platforms.
These objects have been heavily used by Pacific Bell for several years now.

enjoy.
