Hi. I suppose since I started the C++ round, I should answer the
question about its availability. C++ is not (as far as I can tell
and have been told) in the public domain. AT&T gives licences out at
around $500.00 a crack so I've heard. Furthermore, as far as I know
there is no micro verxion for the Atari even from them. I may be
wrong. Anybody who has other information please correct me, and
write me. It's too bad, since C++ is a great extension to C, and
would not be too hard to port over (software companies take note:
I'd surely buy a copy of C++!).
   As to its availability on the VAX, that is the only place I have
ever heard of it. Once again, I think you must contact AT&T.

Now, on another topic:  I just got a new game the other day, Star
Glider. It is really great. Nice graphics, an interesting scenerio,
and even music in the beginning! A good game. John says:

One last thing before I go:  I missed the Uniterm posting for
unknown reasons. Can anybody e-mail me a _working_ copy? Thanks in
advance.
