Back in January there was a notes article discussing a C++ environment called ET++. It sounded great! The article indicated that it would be released to the public domain in February (1989 I assume). Questions: Does anyone have it yet? Is anyone on the information mailing list? Is it the ultimate answer to the worlds programming woes? Thanks - Richard M. Emberson

I am on the ET++ mailing list. I've gotten email confirmation from the ET++
people to that effect, so I assume they *could* send me stuff if there
were stuff to send. So far, I've received nothing.

Someone asked that I post information about how I got on the ET++
mailing list. The following is the announcement that we received.
This is all I know about it. I have received nothing else from them
so far, except their acknowledgement of receipt of my request to be
added.

For all the people who asked us at the OOPSLA'88 after the demonstration of
ET++ about its availability: We will start with the distribution of a first
public domain version of ET++ in the beginning of February.
For all the people who could not attend the demo or have no access to the
OOPSLA'88 paper: ET++ is an object-oriented application framework implemented
in C++ for UNIX environments. An excerpt of its most important characteristics:
- MacApp based model of an application
- Container classes similar as OOPS
- Object input/output or activation/passivation
- Integrated programming environment with inspectors and browsers
- The same application can run under SunView, X11.3
(support for Sun's NeWS is on the way)
- Integrates support for the dynamic linking of classes
- Text building blocks for hypertext applications
- Automatic Postscript or PIC output generation
- Declarative layout specification of panels or dialog boxes
To get in contact send us a mail and we will add you to our
mailing list and keep you informed about ET++
