[net.unix] C++ inquiry

mike@asgb.UUCP (12/07/84)

Can anybody out there send me or refer me to some info on C++ ?

I've heard a rumor that is was released recently.

I have one paper from August 1981 by Bjarne Stroustrup that I think
may be some early version, but haven't found much more.

Please respond by mail

Thanks, in advance.

If you don't mind, send any refs you get to me too.
I know of one reference, but it didn't say much.
It was a printed chat with Brian Kerninghan. He intimated
that C++ may never be a product.  Another, similar conecpt to C++
is Objective-C, made by a company called Productivity
Products Inc. in Connecticut. They incorporate Smalltalk
like hierarchical message bindings into C.

By the way, Smalltalk is now available on a Tektronix box.
The Tek 4404 complete system (hardware, bit mapped screen, Smalltalk-80,
and a UNIX look-a-like O.S.) is $16,000.

P.S. Anyone else out there in Netland have any impressions of the 4404?
