    What we really need is an integrated development environment ala
Symbolics Genera/Zetalisp. The problems people keep fighting with
include files & libraries & so on are largely due to C++ being forced
to fit in the Unix development 'environment'.

    It sounds like the Saber-C++ product might begin to meet this
goal, based on the posting describing it a few weeks back. I suspect
such environments will show up in the PC world soon, if the
Microsoft/Borland compiler wars slop over into C++ (we can hope).

I missed that posting.  I would appreciate someone mailing me a copy, plus
any further information on the product and where/when/for how much it may be
obtained.
