To a fair extent, yes. I've given it a try.
But after a 7 year break from programming, I've only recently started
converting my thinking from structured design/programming to OO, and
switching from C to C++, so while I've tried to achieve a reasonable level
of encapsulation, you will inevitably find faults with the design.
For instance, classes don't follow a strict hierarchy - they tend to invoke
each other willy-nilly. This is probably sacrilegous to OO purists.
FreeWeb Agent, which was written fully in C, with some bits chopped from
elsewhere and stitched together Frankenstein-style, is going in the bin.
I'll be rewriting it from scratch in full C++. I'll even create a C++
wrapper class to encapsulate the use of the ezFCPlib C library I'm writing.
FreeWeb Publisher is mostly C++, and should make more sense. But it will go
through some major changes as well. Particularly the complete elimination of
*all* use of JNI.
