Hi there,

Implement a class safeList, that is derived from the STL class list and uses
exception handling.

I have done a little bit of reading and it says that it is not wise to
derive from STL classes because there are no virtual destructors...

is there a specific way to do this?

any help greatly appreciated

Barry
