static CoolGen_String text ("\n\
A programming language serves two related purposes: it provides a\n\
vehicle for the programmer to specify actions to be executed and a\n\
set of concepts for the programmer to use when thinking about what\n\
can be done. The first aspect ideally requires a language that is\n\
`close to the machine', so that all important aspects of a machine\n\
are handled simply and efficiently in a way that is reasonably\n\
obvious to the programmer. The C language was primarily designed with\n\
this in mind. The second aspect ideally requires a language that is\n\
`close to the problem to be solved' so that the concepts of a\n\
solution can be expressed directly and concisely. The facilities\n\
added to C to create C++ were primarily designed with this in mind.\n\
