Archive-name: ET++/v2.0 Original-posting-by: metz@iam.unibe.ch (Igor Metz) Original-subject: ET++ 2.0 released Archive-site: iamsun.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10] Archive-directory: C++/ET++ Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) ET++ version 2.0 is finally released. It can be obtained with anonymous ftp from the official ET++ repository, iamsun.unibe.ch [130.92.64.10]. Get the file et2.tar.Z from directory C++/ET++. Remember to set ftp to binary mode! To unpack the distribution, use uncompress and tar. The compressed tar file is 2.45 MB, the unpacked et2 directory will eat up 8.5 MB disk space. If you don't have ftp, you should write to Andre Weinand. Maybe he can send you a tape. What is ET++ ? -------------- ET++ is a homogeneous object-oriented class library integrating user interface building blocks, basic data structures, and support for object input/output with high level application framework components. ET++ is implemented in C++ and runs under UNIX under SunWindows, NeWS or the X11 window system. Hardware and Software Requirements ---------------------------------- To read the ET++ tape requires about 10 MB of diskspace. A full ET++ installation requires about 40 MB of disk space. The following table gives some numbers for the sizes of the directories after all the fonts and example applications are compiled: src 8 MB sunfonts 1 MB xfonts 1.6 MB applications 25 MB Supported C++ Compilers: * AT&T C++ 1.2: in order to compile ET++ with this version of cfront some bugs have to be fixed. The corresponding patches are shipped with this distribution (source license necessary). This is the last release which will support C++1.2. * AT&T C++ 2.0, SUN C++2.0: ET++ can now be compiled without any patches to cfront or the CC driver with AT&T's, and SUNUs C++2.0. ET++2.0 is 2.0 friendly but does not use and support multiple inheritance! Supported Hardware and OS: * Sun OS 4.x (680xx, Sparc), SunWindows, X11R4, X11R3 * Sony News 1850, X11R3 The ET++ collection classes are window system independent and can be used on all platforms.
