An ad on page S/15 of the May 22, 1990 PC Week ("The Windows Issue")
is for the Tier C++ Object Library for Windows.  No mention of Zortech
is made, but if properly written the specific C++ compiler should
not be a problem.  It seems to be vaporware at this point, but they
give a BBS # of (817) 965-6994 1200/2400 N 8 1 where a demo and
sample code can be found.  Their address is:
  Sturmer Hauss Corp.
  685 W. Long Street
  Stephenville, Texas  76401
  (817) 965-2602
(I do not see a price listed, either)

At the risk of starting a new thread, many OOPS proponents are
championing C++, Actor, etc. as the best tools to overcome  the
apparent new complexities introduced by graphical environments.
I (and I assume others) would be interested in hearing any 
success/failure stories so far.  I have fooled around with Zortech
C++ a bit, and felt that to create your own new classes (since
there is so little C++ code out there already) required a great
deal of knowledge about the internals of C such as pointers to
functions, memory allocation, et cetera.  Is there some good C++
windows source floationg around out there?
