There have been requests in this group on whether people have been 
using C++ for real software.  Well I would like to announce that I have
built an image processing environment in C++.  The software is centered
around an image data structure with built in stuff to handle a window
on the image and comments.  I have used this environment to generate
results that will be presented at Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Conference next week.   So far I have not distributed the environment into
the local environment but I will do so as soon as some issues with regard
to file formats is cleared up here.  I will distribute upon demand copies
of this code (though it is hardly polished (it works though)) and may
distribute the environment if local users like it.  

One point that I am wondering about is how does one build man pages
to document C++ classes.  They are not quite like anything in C.  Any
ideas?   C++ was distributed without man pages to describe the classes
distributed which meant that I just ignored them except when I couldn't
like the stream class (hint).   Maybe sometime soon I will write in a 
compendium of hints and experiences writing application code in C++.
