(Speaking as a lurker who's yet to make an actual contribution to Abi...)
I found Hungarian useful on a C project I did years ago, but in the C++ code I
do now, I just don't see the point of Hungarian. I think a much better style is
that used in Metrowerks powerplant, where you use "in" and "out" for parameters:
void Foo( int inParam, int *outResult );
and using "m" (for member) or "f" (for field) for member variables.
