1) How can I get the Gorlen's OOPS ? 2) Is there any other public domain c++ class libraries available somewhere ? 3) If so, how one can get them too ? Thanks everybody. Ronen Arad Daisy Systems P.O Box 7006 ms A-24 Mountain View, CA 94039 (415) 960-6884

Thanks you all for your answers !!! I got some email requests for posting the replies to my questions. So, I'll post the answers. I asked: . 1) How can I get the Gorlen's OOPS ? . 2) Is there any other public domain c++ class libraries available . somewhere ? . 3) If so, how one can get them too ? Keith Gorlen's reply (Thu, 28 Jul 88): .To get a copy of the "guru-only" version of OOPS, just send me a .letter on your company or university letterhead requesting the ."Object-Oriented Program Support (OOPS) class library for C++" and a .reel of 1/2" mag tape (a small reel will suffice). I'll return the .tape with a copy of OOPS recorded on it in tar format at 1600 bpi, and .I'll include a copy of the (incomplete) OOPS reference manual. . .Please include your uucp address in the letter. . .The GNU folks also have a class library. You can obtain it .via anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. . .--- . Keith Gorlen phone: (301) 496-5363 . Building 12A, Room 2017 uucp: uunet!nih-csl!keith .

Either get the X11R2 distribution from one of the many uucp .archive sites that has offered to serve as an X archive (e.g., decwrl, .ucbvax), or contact Prof. Linton(?) at Stanford's CS or EE department, .since his group did InterViews. . .The GNU C++ package also contains a libg++ library of C++ classes, but .GNU code is NOT "public domain". It is "copylefted", to use their jargon. .The source code is freely available (for no more than a media charge at .most), but there are restrictions on how you may use/redistribute it. . .I prefer the term "freeware" to "public domain" as it covers both public .domain (i.e. unprotected by copyright) and GNU-like free copyrighted .software. Note that I don't know the copyright status of either Gorlen's .OOPS library or of InterViews. . .Mike Khaw .internet: mkhaw@teknowledge.arpa .uucp: {uunet|sun|ucbvax|decwrl|uw-beaver}!mkhaw%teknowledge.arpa .hardcopy: Teknowledge Inc, 1850 Embarcadero Rd, POB 10119, Palo Alto, CA 94303 Ronen Arad Daisy Systems P.O Box 7006 ms A-24 Mountain View, CA 94039 (415) 960-6884
