- 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.
