Ahem:  AT&T informs me that 3.0 is *NOT* released.

The following is the ComputerWorld article:

Page 156 of ComputerWorld on  October29,1990  

   ADVANCES IN C++

   Hewlett-Packard Co. and AT&T's Unix System Laboratories
   have implemented new features in their respective versions of
   the C++ programming language.  AT&T has adopted tech-
   nology from Object Design,Inc. in Burlington, Mass., which in-
   cludes Release 3.0 of AT&T's C++ "parameterized types"
   or templates.  This allows programmers to build libraries of
   structures without having to know about the objects manipu-
   lated by the structures, the company said.  HP now has a C++
   compiler for its HP-UX system that generates native code for
   the HP9000 computer.  Also, C++ Developer, a class con-
   struction and browsing tool, is now available for the HP Do-
   main/OS system.

Under careful reading it does not say that 3.0 is released, but that is
the impression I got from reading it.  On the other hand ComputerWorld is
perfectly able to get information completely FUBAR'ed.

   Anything I say will be used against me ...
   But my company doesn't know or approve or condone anything of mine here.
