Yes I have briefly looked over that thread. There is a lot of information in it, however my topic defers to the topic of that thread.

I am creating a library, in cpp, that is to be reasonably platform independant to allow programmers to interface their carputer management programs with a HVAC control system.

A control system will no doubt have to be reasonably specific to individual vehicles, the differences in HVAC control in cars are so many (yet slight I guess) that a single individual software/hardware combination could not cover them all.

What I am aiming to do is to create a generic abstraction to all of this which allows systems to be ported from vechicle to vehicle with only the need to change the actual hardware interface and it's controlling software system and not the actual carputer management software.

As you notice, I like to think in a modular manner for my systems.

[edit:] Unless I missed your point in reading that thread...???
