Hello Sean,

Thanks. Sorry for my mistake again, the body of the copy constructor is
defined inside the class definition, I just copied it out to the
message.

Here is a more complete view (I hope). I try to make the copy
constructor a template because in some of my other class I would like to
copy between different instantiation of a template (this piece of code
is for testing only).

template < class T >
class a
{
	public:
		T* t;
		a(void)
		{
			t=new T[256];
		};
		template < class U > a(const a<U> &v)
		{
			t=new T[256];
			*this=v;
		};
		~a(void)
		{
			delete[] t;
		};
		template < class U > a<T> & operator = (const a<U> &v) 
		{
			int i;
			for(i=0;i<256;i++)
			{
				t[i]=T(v.t[i]);
			}
			return *this;
		};
		void fill ( const T & h)
		{
			int i;
			for(i=0;i<256;i++)
			{
				t[i]=h;
			}
		};
		a<T> duplicate(void)
		{
			a<T> temp;
			temp=*this;
			return temp;
		};
		friend ostream & operator << <T> (ostream& out, const a<T>& t);
};
