Our group would like to standardize on a C++ class library for
engineering applications. One of the important criteria for selection is
the likely "longevity" of the library, i.e. will it be widely accepted
by the programming community and will it track future releases of C++?

Hence the question: What progress is being made in C++ library
standardization? Is there a schedule? A base document?

I'd also appreciate hearing from anyone whose already been through the
library selection process. Our contenders so far:

    C++ Standard Components Release 2.0  Unix Systems Lab
    C++ Booch Components   Rational
    Tools.h++     Rogue Wave

Thanks in advance,
Eric
