[comp.lang.c++] ET++2.0

narain@acsu.buffalo.edu (sudeep narain) (02/20/91)

Hello,
	If you have any experience with ET++2.0, I would
appreciate very much if you could share it with me. Also,
I would like to know where I can find the source (preferably
ftp site ) for it. I know only that it was originally written 
by grad students from the University of Zurich and the
source has since been hacked by folks from other universities.

Please send e-mail to:
narain@eng.buffalo.edu

Thank you,
Sudeep

The current release is actually ET++2.2 and is available 
by anonymous ftp from iam.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10] in "C++/ET++".

correct, and we indeed got some support in 2.2 to adapt 2.0 to g++
from Ron Guilmette and Tom Vijlbrief. But I would not characterize 
support from a "C++ Entomologist" and another 
gnu g(n)uru as "hacked by folks" :-).
The original authors are still in control of ET++ and the work on
ET++ is going on in the research lab of a large Swiss bank (UBS).
