This is getting off the topic a little bit, but I wanted to clear a point
up.  AT&T is releasing C++ *only* to educational licensees.  The cost is
$150 for the tape and another $20 for the printed documentation.

I would love to see C++ released to everyone, but at least some people can
get hold of it.  The fact that they are releasing it at all encourages me
to hope that eventually everyone will be able to get it.
