I was asking for a list of ANSI libraries, if any, and people who made a
question like mine got the same answer like I got: SILENCE. I give up.
I supose ANSI people have a pact avoiding a broadcast of confidential
information. Let's wait to fall.

Since there is no official ANSI C++ standard at this point you must
understand that any "list" of ANSI libraries is still tentative and
subject to rapid change.  For lots of interesting insights into the
ANSI C++ library proceedings I suggest that you read the series of
articles by P.J. Plauger in the recent C Users Journal or my virtual
interview with Michael Vilot (chairperson of the library working group
in the ANSI C++ committee) in the October 1993 issue of the C++ Report
magazine.

In Michael's interview, he gives an overview of the table of contents
of Ch. 17 of the (then) current draft of the C++ standard.  The
sections at that point (about 6 months ago or so) included the
following:

. Language Support -- e.g., set_new_handler, set_unexpected, etc.
. Strings -- e.g., low-level text manipulation and internationalization
. Input/Output -- e.g., iostreams
. C Library -- e.g., changes to the C library to make it typesafe for C++
. Containers -- e.g., bitsets and dynamic arrays

He also mentioned that there has been a lot of talk about adding
support for numerical classes as well.  I believe that there have been
a number of changes to the library in the 2 meetings since Michael's
interview, and that there will be yet more changes after the upcoming
San Diego meeting.  If you seriously want to keep track of all this,
you should become an observer member of the ANSI C++ standardization
process.  In addition, the C++ Report has a regular series of
excellent articles on the ANSI C++ standardization progress by Josee
Lajoie (chairperson of the Core Working Group).

There is a very crucial ANSI C++ committee meeting coming up shortly
in San Diego.  I can imagine that most committee members are working
hard to prepare for this meeting and aren't spending as much time
participating in this newsgroup as they usually do.  "Never attribute
to malice that which can be explained by tight deadlines and stress
headaches." ;-)

++ Let's wait to fall.

Hey, that's a great idea!  I've always secretly wanted to program in
FORTRAN 9.x anyway (NOT)...
