I wasn't sure if I could talk about it, but as Larry pointed out,
AT&T hasn't finalized their latest version of C++.  Until that happens
it would be silly to release something that needed to be revved in
six months.

I don't know anything about the PC version of it, but I'm curious.  Is
it a 3rd party or a Big Blue package?  

And I guess I really was patting myself (actually Apple's back).  I think
Larry and the rest of the MacApp-OOP people did a great job.  It really
ought to be a mandantory class for Apple programmers. 

My gripe is that Apple doesn't push it hard enough.
