Announcing STL++ : The Enhanced Standard Template Library !
***********************************************************

Modena Software has announced availability of STL++(TM),

STL++ contains

   * all of the base STL functionality

   * a comprehensive Tutorial on STL, written by
     David Musser, one of the original developers
     of STL.

     all containers and algorithms in detail

         * numerous examples for all STL classes and
     algorithms

         * an ANSI/ISO compliant String class

   * Date, Time, and Stopwatch classes

   * Bounds checking (under a compile-time switch),
     giving users enhanced debugging capabilities

The STL++ library contains several modifications over and
above the base HP-sources, to enable non-trivial programs
to compile on BC4.0 and other compilers.

Please note that this library is fully supported and is
substantially different from the "free" STL.

COMPILERS SUPORTED
******************

 1. Borland C++ 4.0  :

     Version 4.01 only is supported in this release.
     BC4.02 contains some basic bugs that prevent the
     library from compiling.

     The library is currently being ported to BC4.5,
     which is expected to be released in December, 1994.
     STL++ works well with BC4.5.
