Something like this (probably full of syntax errors....)

That doesn't work. The compiler can't deduce T.
True. Well, in this case since the SpreadSort template only works for integers then Steve could just specialise for std::vector<char,short,int,long,long long,etc>. Otherwise I guess something using enable_if is possible, but I'm not going to stick my neck out and guess how to write it with all these experts reading... Phil.
