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?)
