The C++ Object-Oriented Library (COOL) is the result of a research and
development effort at Texas Instruments that was aimed at learning how the
emerging C++ technology might be used to support the development of complex
applications. We learned much from this effort and now realize that a number
of the design decisions that we made were not the best.
No active development has been done on COOL since early 1990 and none is
planned. The authors have all moved on to new projects so even it they find
time to answer questions they may not remember enough to be of much help.
By making this software available to the public we hope to provide some
additional basis for further development of C++ technology.
