I am looking for some information on the NIH (National Institutes of
Health ?) C++ Library. Can some kind soul help supply any or all of
the following pieces of information:
What type of classes are in the library ( not a complete list, of
course, but a rough idea) ?
Since this was, apparently, written for a government organization,
it should be public domain, right ?
How would I go about getting a copy of it ( source code if
possible; SUN version if not ) ? ( address of the responsible
office within NIH would be nice. )
Does any one "out there" have any actual experience using this
library ? If so, what is your opinion of its quality
( completeness, accuracy, robustness, etc. ) ?
Please e-mail responses to me ( so we don't bore the rest of the folks )
at : wlp@calmasd.Prime.COM
Thanks in advance,

Does anyone know how to obtain the National Institutes of Health C++ class library? Does anyone have any impressions from using it? Thanks much, John uunet!jhereg!tcnet!wd0gol!fss!brugge

Buy the book (Data Abstraction and Object-oriented Programming in C++, K.E.Gorlen et al., Wiley 1991) and order from the publishers (Wiley) for $16.95. Or ftp Host alw.nih.gov (128.231.128.251) /pub/nihcl-3.0.tar.Z. So far I'm struggling to get the Makefile right for this configuration (Sun C++2.0, Sun 3) but it *looks* good so far. (Needs _main.c_m, requires root privileges to install things, paths embedded in multiple make files - but the basic C++ code works). [PS. To John Brugge: mail to brugge@fss.uucp failed COMMAND: address resolution ('brugge' @ 'fss.Ems.MN.ORG') failed at tcnet.MN.ORG. Mail using an explicit path also failed, this time at uunet with the message: 550 <@uunet.uu.net,@jhereg,@tcnet,@wd0gol:brugge@fss>... Host unknown ]

Revision 3.0 of the NIH Class Library (formerly known as OOPS) is available via anonymous FTP in the file pub/nihcl.tar.Z on alw.nih.gov (128.231.128.251). This version of the library is described by our book "Data Abstraction and Object-Oriented Programming in C++" by Keith Gorlen, Sandy Orlow, and Perry Plexico, published by John Wiley and Sons.
