What would you suggest the name of the class be instead? It is intended to provide the main entry point for a program, so that the program can be easily reused separately.
From what I see, you're packaging functions, not system() calls to executables or separate processes connected by some IPC.
I am trying to describe a way to write a C++ program by packaging the entire thing (entry point, global functions, global variable) in a single object.
Why? Monolithic designs are seldom a good idea. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
