Readers may recall that Robert Cooper urged users working with C++ to post their experiences. I want to repeat this. I know of a lot of work with C++ by now, and today I even heard of a stub generator that makes ISIS "transparent". I'm sure that there would be a lot of interest in this work and I hope the developers of this and related tools will seriously consider telling people about them... We'll be happy to include solid code in our distributions, too. I also know of a few ports of ISIS, including one to the Silicon Graphics (System V R 3.3) and one to a Pyramid, and I know of a group doing work on UNICOS and the Convex parallel processor. We would be happy to include these in our ports too... send diff -c scripts that we can run through patch and you are out of the maintanence loop... Same goes for ISIS under VMS (we are doing one port of this, but I know of at least one other group doing this too). (Anyone willing to take on VM?) Ken
