For all the people who asked us at the OOPSLA'88 after the demonstration of
ET++ about its availability: We will start with the distribution of a first
public domain version of ET++ in the beginning of February.

For all the people who could not attend the demo or have no access to the
OOPSLA'88 paper:  ET++ is an object-oriented application framework implemented
in C++ for UNIX environments. An excerpt of its most important characteristics:

- MacApp based model of an application
- Container classes similar as OOPS
- Object input/output or activation/passivation 
- Integrated programming environment with inspectors and browsers
- The same application can run under SunView, X11.3 
     (support for Sun's NeWS is on the way)
- Integrates support for the dynamic linking of classes
- Text building blocks for hypertext applications 
- Automatic Postscript or PIC output generation
- Declarative layout specification of panels or dialog boxes

To get in contact send us a mail and we will add you to our
mailing list and keep you informed about ET++
