Having used ``The C++ Programming Language'' as my learning tool and reference for pre-2.0 versions of C++, what should I use to update my knowledge and reference source for version 2.0? [a recommendatation by bjarne would be most enlightening, but all responses will be useful]. kurt -- Kurt Baudendistel --- GRA Georgia Tech, School of Electrical Engineering, Atlanta, GA 30332 uucp: ...!{allegra,hplabs,ulysses}!gatech!gt-eedsp!baud internet: baud%gt-eedsp@gatech.edu

You can buy a 2.0 reference manual from AT&T. I don't know the price. One way of reaching AT&T is the number in the footnote on page 2 of my book. The title is (in its full horror): UNIX(R) System V AT&T C++ Language System Release 2.0 Product Reference Manual, Select code 307-146 I'm working on a book that will contain an annotated reference manual and be much more available, but for the moments this is the best source.

I highly recommend Stan Lippman's "C++ Primer". It is not only a lucid presentation of the language, but also a unified presentation of C++ as it exists today (2.0 release of `cfront'). A separate appendix covers parameterized types (any takers on when 3.0 will appear?) Mike

I called this morning ans was referred to 1-800-432-6600. I was told that a price has not been set for the manual so it cannot be ordered yet. The person I spoke with suggested trying again next week. This 800 number is apparently the right one for ordering the manual. The manual, when available, may be charged to a credit card. Roy T.
