Hungarian notation (again)... IMHO useless.. I would much rather have
rules that forced you to give sensible, meaningful names to your
variables with out prefixes or postfixes. Keep functions and classes
short that you can remember the types when examining and if you can't
easily find them if you can't remember them.

This would be a good start...

The ``Programming in C++: Rules and Recommendations'' document can be
ftp'd from
        ftp.th-darmstadt.de (130.83.55.75)
in
        /pub/programming/languages/C++/documentation/rules.ps.Z
or
        rules.ascii.Z

You might not agree with everything they say, but it does have a lot
of sound advice. While on the subject of sound advice...

I have references to a few others if anyone is interested...
We seem to have got off the topic... follow-ups directed to comp.lang.c++.
