Thanks you all for your answers !!!

I got some email requests for posting the replies to my questions.
So, I'll post the answers.

I asked:
. 1) How can I get the Gorlen's OOPS ?
. 2) Is there any other public domain c++ class libraries available
.    somewhere ?
. 3) If so, how one can get them too ?

Keith Gorlen's reply (Thu, 28 Jul 88):

.To get a copy of the "guru-only" version of OOPS, just send me a
.letter on your company or university letterhead requesting the
."Object-Oriented Program Support (OOPS) class library for C++" and a
.reel of 1/2" mag tape (a small reel will suffice).  I'll return the
.tape with a copy of OOPS recorded on it in tar format at 1600 bpi, and
.I'll include a copy of the (incomplete) OOPS reference manual.
.
.Please include your uucp address in the letter.
.
.The GNU folks also have a class library.  You can obtain it 
.via anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu.

.Contact Keith Gorlen:

.
.or buy the Oregon Software C++ compiler (it comes with the Gorlen OOPS
.library).

.The X11 distribution contains the InterViews C++ library for doing X-ish
.things.  Either get the X11R2 distribution from one of the many uucp
.archive sites that has offered to serve as an X archive (e.g., decwrl,
.ucbvax), or contact Prof. Linton(?) at Stanford's CS or EE department,
.since his group did InterViews.
.
.The GNU C++ package also contains a libg++ library of C++ classes, but
.GNU code is NOT "public domain".  It is "copylefted", to use their jargon.
.The source code is freely available (for no more than a media charge at
.most), but there are restrictions on how you may use/redistribute it.
.
.I prefer the term "freeware" to "public domain" as it covers both public
.domain (i.e. unprotected by copyright) and GNU-like free copyrighted
.software.  Note that I don't know the copyright status of either Gorlen's
.OOPS library or of InterViews.
