Hello....

Maybe I'm just being dense and not seeing this in the man pages, but
given a pfNode *, can I determine what the pointer is actually
referencing (is the object really a pfGroup, pfDCS, or what)?
At first read I had thought that the member function getClassType
would do this, but it's a static member of pfNode, so that's what
my pfNode->getClassType() invokes. Is there a virtual counterpart,
and if not how would one determine what the run time type is?
(dynamic_cast doesn't seem to be in the C++ compiler- at least not
in the one I'm using...)

Many thanks...

-Les
