 Where is welcome to 'C++' ? ;-)
 An example when, virtual functions doesn't work :
 
 class Dummy {
 protected :
  int SomeData;
  void Copy(Dummy *p) 
   {
    memcpy(this,p,sizeof(Dummy));
   }
 public :
  Dummy() {};
  Dummy(Dummy *p) { Copy(p); }; // copy constructor
  virtual f() { printf("This is dummy!\n"); };
 }

 class Dummy2 : public Dummy {

 public :
  Dummy2() {};
  Dummy2(Dummy *p) { Copy(p); }; //copy constructor
  virtual f() { printf("This is dummy2!\n"); };
 };
 
 void main()
 {
  Dummy *p1=new Dummy();
  p1->f(); // prints "This is dummy!"
  Dummy *p2=new Dummy2(p1);
  p2->f(); // also prints "This is dummy!"
 };
 
 Have fun with C++ too ! ;))
