What is stopping you? Also, why do this since C++ compilers are good to go on almost every OS.

Since auto resizing arrays are not there in c, not classes, you might want to use a linked list or realloc() a char[] to size.

[DGPickett]

You need to track both the number of cells used (top for a stack) and the capacity (max cells allocated) so you know when to expand the container (stack). Evict your methods from the class, removing class:: and call it a struct.
