Thanks for the interesting comments to date,
Just to fine tune my thinking, If a new programmer learnt C++ and then was handed some C code for tidy up, he would probably manage ok ???
Yes. C is a subset of C++. You'll only really encounter issues with the API's - Pure C++ programmers tend to use things like iostreams and cout, whereas C you'll just get FILE* and printf.
They're doing the same thing, just the API is different. The thing I like most about C++ is that you can use some of the nice things from C++ like the standard template library, but you also get to use all of the nice clean C things (printf).
