	   Yup.  I work at Lotus Development Corp., and in my group at
least C++ is the primary development languages.  Some ordinary C code
is used for really ugly sorts of things that would like to be classes
but for whatever reason can't be... I guess you just learn to deal
with the quirks of this language or any other.
