I have heard that ET++ is some kind of class library for C++. If this is true where I could ftp it? Is it in public domain? (If it is not, dont bother :-)

ET++ was written at the University of Zurich by Erich Gamma, Rudolf Marty, and Andre Weinand. It was first implemented in C language and called ET, then later rewritten in C++. It gives the programmer a class browser, inheritance tree diagram, and a smalltalk-like library of objects (among other things). The environment runs under X windows, SunView, and NeWS. You can get it via anonymous ftp from cayuga.cs.rochester.edu (192.5.53.209) in the files pub/et++-1.0.tar.Z[1234] (there is supposed to be a newer release that supports C++ 2.0, but I don't have it yet :( ). I had problems compiling 1.0 with a 2.0 cfront and G++ because it uses assignments to the -this- pointer in constructors (which was made obsolete by 2.0). If you have C++ 2.0 I would advise getting the new code, if not et++ 1.0 should be good enough. -- Bill Walburg @ Xetron Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio billw@kgw2.bwi.wec.com ..!uunet!tron!kgw2!billw
