Hi Paul,

Before you say a word, I don't live here, but every time I've taken a break during the past couple of days there has been a message from you. ;-)

Take a look at the sample app and you will get a few hints on directories and locations of libraries.

I believe that the "c" and "k" libraries all live under common30. The "a" libraries are specific to your application and they should be in libraries in \yourapp\libs\

Let's get a bit proactive and less theoric here, why don't you tell us what classes you're thinking of subclassing and then we can probably give you better guidance as to whether it would be a good idea or not and any pointers we might think of. Also, if you tell us WHY you're thinking of subclassing a specific class, even better!

I think that this would be a better approach than to try to come up with generic rules on how to subclass, when, where, etc.

In my case, for example, I have some classes that I sub-classed, and others that I modified directly (i.e. forms). As you can see, there is no clear-cut rule.

BTW, a very good friend of mine is a fishing addict and I think he does go to montana every year. Want me to get him in touch with you?

Regards,

Alex
