Buy the book (Data Abstraction and Object-oriented Programming in C++,
K.E.Gorlen et al., Wiley 1991) and order from the publishers (Wiley) for
$16.95. Or ftp Host alw.nih.gov   (128.231.128.251) /pub/nihcl-3.0.tar.Z.

So far I'm struggling to get the Makefile right for this configuration
(Sun C++2.0, Sun 3) but it *looks* good so far. (Needs _main.c_m, 
requires root privileges to install things, paths embedded in multiple
make files - but the basic C++ code works).
