C++ The Book makes reference to the language being designed to help with a simulation problem. The book and the current distribution seem otherwise to make no mention of that. Is there a set of classes for doing simulation, event or process-driven? Any information (description, include, implementation) would be most appreciated. -- Joel West MCI Mail: 282-8879 Western Software Technology, POB 2733, Vista, CA 92083 {cbosgd, ihnp4, pyramid, sdcsvax, ucla-cs} !gould9!joel joel%gould9.uucp@NOSC.ARPA

It is an old workhorse; not perfect but often adequate. Runs on VAXes and M68K boxes. The task library is on the standard C++ tape. Documentation is part of the stuff you get from AT&T with the translator. See also <task.h>.
