Bell Labs is distributing C++ to universities.

Apple has this thing called "Object Pascal."  It is essentially
Simula with virtual procedures done better.  Plus it has the official
blessing of Wirth. The exciting thing is that the extensions to
Pascal are incredibly simple: anyone who can hack a C compiler so
that it will do inter-procedure parameter checking can hack it to
handle "Object C".


They have released the specs to the public domain.
