Can anyone point me to a source code example of a custom
const_iterator?

I've got my container class done with a custom iterator, but cannot
get a grasp on the details on how to implement the const_iterator.

How about sharing the code that you have problem with? Someone here can then
help you better.

It's on a secure network not connected to the internet with no method
of electronic copy
I don't desire to spend 4 hours typing it again, as even a minimal
example would be 400 or so lines when there are so many classes
dependent on other classes and methods calling other methods, just to
make up this template.
Any simple example will probably get me passed the problem.

And.. they might even show you how to make a reverse_iterator into the
bargain.

A const_iterator *usually* means that it doesn't modify the object it is
iterating through, that *usually* means when it dereferences it returns a
constant reference, rather than a reference.
