The primary author of the NIH library just posted a good article on the
subject in comp.lang.c++.  Yes, the NIH classes look a lot like the
Smalltalk-80 classes.  He works for the National Institutes of Health,
but so far as I know, that's the only medical relation; and the pun on
"Not Invented Here" is unintentional, though appreciated.)

I'm not speaking for the company, I'm just speaking my mind.
Smalltalk-80 is a trademark of Xerox, or Parc Place, or somebody.
