Hmmm. Maybe I should buy a copy; it would help me a lot with the two
chapters I have yet to write :-) Seriously though, It will still be

	Ellis and Stroustrup: The Annotated Reference Manual
	Addison-Wesley, 1991.

commonly called `the ARM.' That book differes from ``The C++ Programming

the definition of C++.
