Hi, I am currently writing a research paper on the cases against and for C++
in the work place. If you have any wonderful or not-so-wonderful encounters
or experiences with c++, I would like to hear from you. Please explain to me
the kind of work you are(were) doing, and how c++ solved or did not solve the
problems in the organization.
I value any input and will reply with a personal thank-you note to anyone that
is willing to share the experiences with me. You may reply to the newsgroup
or email me at who@gulf.uvic.ca.
Thank you.
Wei-Lin

C++ sells. The perception of my client base is that if I supply their source
code in C++, they will have greater control and ownership over any such
program. Whether or not this is true, one sells to perceptions.
The facts are that my embedded applications are reasonably easy to accomplish
and maintain in C++ running on MS/DOS operating system. In the workplace, the
best language is not the issue.
If best is the issue, I would not be working now with a PC.
Hope this is of interest...jpp
