   At the 1st USENIX C++ workshop in Santa-Fe, we presented our
   extension to C++ for dynamic linking and access to persistent
   objects and objects migrated from other programs.  This version was
   largely used (and tested) during the two last years within SOS, an
   experimental Distributed Operating System from INRIA (France).  A
   version of this extension (C++ 1.1 is supported with all known bugs
   fixed) for a UNIX environment is made available in the USENIX C++
   distribution tape.  The dynamic linker supports BSD format.  System
   V COFF format is partially supported.

   The language is extented with the single keyword "dynamic".  The
   second extention presented in the paper, inner data, is optionally
   available but is not debuggued.

   The tape includes C++ source files, with the linker source files.
   Documentation includes manual, use and an updated version of the
   paper presented in Santa-Fe.

   The sole required license is C++ and Unix source license.

   your license), at the following address:
