[comp.lang.c++] Trying to buy C++

drs@bnlux0.bnl.gov (David R. Stampf) (01/20/89)

	I've just spent a few frustrating days trying to get a hold of
someone at AT&T who knows anything about C++.  Some of the funnier lines
heard over the phone - "What is a program?",  "Is this for a computer?",
"What is a VAX?".  oh boy.

	Anyway, nobody at AT&T knows how to sell C++ to run on Suns/Vaxen/
Encore and the like - they could only refer me to Zortech.  oh boy.

	What's the story here?  Has AT&T gotten out of the business and do
you strictly have to deal with 3rd party vendors, or have I not yet reached
the person who really knows what is going on in there?

	Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry about that.  To order the source to the AT&T C++ Translator, try
calling 1-800-828-UNIX.  (All I have handy is the 800 number.  I can
look up the DDD number if anyone's interested.)  I think we still don't
sell the Translator in binary form, but I don't know for sure. C++
training is also available from AT&T in Princeton, Chicago, Dublin
(OH), Sunnyvale (CA), Los Angeles, and Atlanta.  Call 1-800-247-1212
for details.
