USENIX is putting together a tape of C++ software. The goal is to gather together as much stuff as we can so people new to C++ have a significant amount of code they can read to see how things are done in C++. Many things people talked about at the USENIX C++ Workshop in Santa Fe last November will be on the tape. Perhaps you have something to contribute. If so, please take a minute right now and contact Peter H. Salus, Executive Director of USENIX +1 415-528-8649 usenix!peter or peter@usenix.ORG We must receive a tape and paper copies of all documentation by 12:00PM PST Monday, February 22, 1988. (this is an extension of the deadline announced earlier.) It now appears that the C++ Proceedings (which will contain all but one of the Workshop papers plus a number of other important C++ papers) will total over 300 pages. I still hope to have copies complete within 4 weeks and on sale in Dallas at the USENIX technical conference. Because of the size, I will not know the cost until the printer gives me a cost estimate. I intend to keep it below $20, if possible; if feasible, below $15. Ordering information will be posted and will appear in the January/February ;login:. Peter H. Salus

The first 1988 USENIX software tape is ready for
release. It contains C++ software and requires no AT&T
nor UC license.
It is being sent to all current Institutional and Supporting
members of the USENIX Association.
Individual members of USENIX who wish to obtain a copy of the tape
may request it from the Association Office, which will then send the
requestor a "Tape Release Form." The form plus a check for
$125 should be returned to the office, whereupon the tape will be
sent out, postpaid in the US. Foreign individuals will be
billed for the additional (air) postage/shipping.
The tape, in tar format is 1200ft., 1600bpi, and contains:
GNU C++ Version 1.21.0 (Michael Tiemann)
OOPS (Kieth E. Gorlen)
Storage management class and String class... (Peter A. Buhr)
InterViews 2.3 (Mark A. Linton)
C++ Subroutines for string manipulation (Arthur Zemon)
The tape is not available to non-members of the USENIX Association,
so, if you want the tape, you must become a member.

Ran out of rings? Aargh! Undoubtably the work of our arch-enemy, Sinestro! Quick, all loyal members of the Corps who already have a ring! Charge your ring with the living green energy from the power battery of the Guardians: In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power - Green Lantern's Light! And I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light... the light of the Green Lantern!
