-
- This announces the September version 1.0.6 of the Comp.Object FAQ - just in
- time for my birthday! It has many updates and corrections and has several
- very up-to-date appendices on object-oriented methodologies and systems.
- While a new section on miscellaneous commercial systems and libraries is
- still in the works for completeness, this document may very well comprise
- the latest and most up-to-date collection of object-oriented systems and
- terms in the world today! There is also a potential upcoming merge with the
- new C++ Libraries FAQ.
-
- I will try to update the FAQ monthly with system entries and information from
- the net. I have a new TQM system in place which should proceed from the
- old Level 1 to Level 5 in no time - not hard for a one man job. *Many*
- thanks to the patience of those sending system updates and corrections,
- my new system should provide fast acknowledgement, inclusion (within a few
- weeks) and tracking, and 6 sigma quality should provide essentially defect
- free performance for the FAQ.
-
- Sending comments, suggestions, additions, updates, corrections, and new
- systems and site entries is strongly encouraged and should be directed to
- the author at rjh@geodesic.com.
-
- The FAQ is posted to the comp.object, comp.answers and news.answers newsgroups
- and is available via anonymous ftp from zaphod.uchicago.edu and rtfm.mit.edu,
- although new versions may take a short period of time to be installed.
-
- Anonymous FTP Sites and Hypertext Server:
- anonymous@zaphod.uchicago.edu:/pub/CompObj6.faq(.Z) (128.135.72.61)
- anonymous@rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.object/*_Part_*
- http://cui_www.unige.ch/OSG/FAQ/OO-FAQ/index.html
-
- Mail Server: (See also section 1.24)
- mail mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
- Subject:
- send usenet/comp.object/*
-
- Zaphod is preferred over rtfm for anonymous ftp retrieval, as it provides a
- single file. Rtfm contains the FAQ as posted.
-
- To use the hypertext system, see APPENDIX E, entries 27.
-
- Again, a short period of time may be required to retrieve the latest version
- from anonymous ftp, allowing the posted version to propagate and get out as
- quickly as possible.
-
- Thank you to the many people who have contributed their time and effort to
- help this document spread the word about object-oriented technology and
- available systems! It is hoped it will be most useful in that endeavor.
-
- Best Regards!
