   I am interested in information for the C++ programming language.
   As I understand it is an object-oriented preprocessor for the C
   language developed by Bell Laboratories.

   We are interested in developing a graphics windowing package.
   Since we are doing development using Unix 4.2 BSD and we have
   a large library of C software it would be nice to use C++ and
   still have the use of previously developed software.

   The use of an object oriented language would definitely help
   in the design and coding of the graphics system.  I assume that
   C++ has the concept of classes and that it can define the objects
   state within a class as well as operations permitted on that
   state.

   If anyone has any information, like where to get a Reference Manual,
   I would greatly appreciate it.  I would also like opinions on C++
   if you have used it before.  Please respond by mail since I don't
   read the news each day.
