	About a week ago I posted a request for information
	about C++. Specifically, I wish to know what people's
	experiences with the language have been like. To date,
	I have received two responses. This is not quite what I
	was hoping for. For this reason, I am posting the request
	again, in the hope that it will shake some more people
	out of the woodwork. I need to know the following:

	o What made you decide to develop in C++?
	o What features of C++ are most useful?
	o What features (or bugs) of C++ are most troublesome?
	o Does it take more or less time to develop applications?
	o Do you spend more or less time maintaining the software?
	o Does it take more or less time to bring new developers up to speed?
	o Is the lack of support from AT&T a serious drawback?
	o Will you continue to use C++?
	o Would you recommend the language to other developers?


	Please, PLEASE, *PLEASE* answer these questions if you
	can. Send responses to me by e-mail, and I will be most happy
	to summarize for the net.


	[ aside to Bjarne Stroustrup: I realize that you will
	avoid answering this request for fear of being labelled
	a self-advertiser, but if you know of any sites that
	might be persuaded to provide me with some useful
	information, I would be most appreciative ]
