Can anyone provide a brief list and/or description of the classes that are
provided with cfront 2.0 from AT&T?

The classes distributed with the UNIX(R) System V C++ Language System,
Release 2.0, according to the Release Notes, are:

	o  Ostream, the old Release 1.1 C++ I/O library

	o  complex, the complex arithmetic library

	o  generic, a common error-reporting function and generic stack
	and vector types

	o  new, which handles run-time memory management

	o  static, which handles invocation of static constructors and
	destructors

	o  stream, the C++ iostream library

	o  task, the C++ task library.  This package is machine dependent
	and is currently implemented only on the AT&T 3B line and 6386
	WGS computers, the DEC VAX line of computers, and SUN
	workstations using the Motorola 68000 processor family (though
	Chapter 2 of the C++ Language System Library Manual provides
	information on how to port it to other machines)

complex, stream, and task are described in great detail in the Library
Manual.  I didn't even know generic existed until I typed the above in
from the Release Notes.

Please note that the above is what AT&T sells.  If you have a C++
product that claims to be compatible with 2.0, but doesn't have all of
the above libraries, it's your vendor's fault, not AT&T's.

If you want more information, you should order the appropriate C++
Language System Release 2.0 documents:
	Reference Manual: $25, select code 307-146
	Library Manual: $35, select code 307-145
 	Selected Readings: $30, select code 307-144
	Release Notes: $20, select code 307-090

To order call the AT&T Customer Information Center, 1-800-432-6600, or
317-352-8557 (according to an earlier posting by Dr. Stroustrup; I have
it as 317-352-8504).  (If you're in AT&T, you can get these manuals
the same place you get other fine C++ products, rather than the CIC.)
