We are currently considering several C++ compilers for purchase, and
one of the differences we have found is in the offering of an object
library.  We have run across two public domain object libraries for
C++ so far: Gnu's and NIH's.

I have the following questions:
   - What public domain C++ object libraries are out there?
   - What do these libraries contain (including Gnu's and NIH's)
        Is it mostly GUI type objects; database access type objects;
        generic data structures type objects; all of the previous?
   - I realize C++ is relatively new, and the object libraries are
     even newer.  Which libraries are you familiar with, and what is
     your opinion of them?

We are running on Sun Sparc and Sun 3 equipment with Sun OS 4.03.  Please
mail responses, and I'll summarize.

Thanks in advance!
