General talk about software patterns

["Michael J. Pont" <Michael.Pont AT tesco.net>]

Ralph,

You've had two useful replies already.

One additional comment.  There are a number of people working with patterns 
who have interests in real-time / embedded systems, and - as a consequence - 
there are many patterns out there that do not rely on dynamic memory 
allocation.

Please don't give up on patterns until you've done some trawling on Google 
(or similar).

Best wishes,

Michael.
