Don't get me wrong. I like the API of the QContainer classes. That was another bonus of moving to everything over to Qt. With QVector, I just can not do a global search and replace of std::vector with QVector. I have to pick and choose where it gets used.

I have started the transition and I am really enjoying the QFile, QTextStream and QByteArray APIs for parsing the text files that we get. SOOOO much easier than FILE* and ifstream.

Thanks.
