Tom,

Did you get any responses to the above messages?  I didn't find any, 
although the YahooGroups search certainly isn't the best.

Is the only remaining objection the need for the constructor below to be 
repeated for each possible number of arguments?

Have you compiled and tested the code?

--Beman

template<typename T1>
format(const char* s, T1 a1) : s_(s)
{
   push_arg(&a1);
}
