How are you install stream.d and compile this?
I have tried following:

dmd stream_tes1.d stream.d

i get the following errormessage from the linker:
hansen@hansen-lx:~/d$ dmd stream_tes1.d stream1.d
gcc stream_tes1.o stream1.o -o stream_tes1 -lphobos -lpthread -lm
stream_tes1.o(.gnu.linkonce.t_Dmain+0x12): In function `_Dmain':
: undefined reference to
`_Class_7stream111__anonymous116ReadableFileStream_C7stream111__anonymous59BinaryReader_C7stream111__anonymous15Seeker_C6Object6Seeker12BinaryReader18ReadableFileStream'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 256

I have change the first line from stream.d to:
module stream;

The file's stream_tes1.d and stream.d are in the same directory.

dmd -c stream_tes1.d stream.d run without any error.

Shame on me. I started the wrong program.

The compiled `stream.exe' throws the exception. Accidently I started `test.exe', which only showed, `Hello world'.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

So long.

Doh , your right of course.

Hmm ok.  You've done alot with D templates, anyway to convinvce you to write a tutorial on C++ and D templates ? I almost never write generic code in C++ but would like to in D.  A tutorial would help alot of people, myself included.

Also im a little confused on the use of interface , in C++ this would be a pure virtual abstract class ?  How does interface work with templates , are there some advantages ?  And looking over the code its not clear to me why you instantiate with Object , ill keep reading it.

Thanks,
C
