|Logic because k is Clase2 and part of Clase1.

but look that is always the () constructor, I can't call other constructors.

Yes, what about it? what does it change? I think it doesn't have to
change anything. Again I don't have the standard but it looks the
natural thing because k is just a member of Clase1, nothing more.

how to call the constructor that I want instead of the () ?

that's why I used ...

> in BC you can make "k = "Clase2
>  String, int, ...... )" but now I can't with DJGPP.

Never trust in BC++ it have a lot of non-portable extentions and
normally Borland doesn't put it clear.

sip, but at least it worked ;o).

> remember that in this case I am using objects created with out new.

Yes and that's the point, I think you need:
class Clase1
{ 
......
Clase2 *k;
}

And inside the Clase1 constructor:
k=new Clase2(....anything you want...);
Instead of expecting some automatic behavior.

I don't feel too much safe when I use objects with new, 
I'd wish to know if exist a way to free the memory of forgotten objects ?
I mean, if you create an object with new in a method, if you leave this method with out delete it, the object will remain, now it will be a memory leak and all will fall someday. but, exists something like a garbage collector to dispose this memory of objects that the code never reference again ?  that would be useful, but maybe too near to miracle.

or at least, a way to see that you are having memory  leaks ?
