Available C++ libraries FAQ (1/6)

Contents

Introduction

Here is the latest draft of a list of available C++ libraries I am compiling. I intend to post this once a month or so (unless there are any complaints).

It is submited to comp.lang.c++ and news.answers, and is available for public ftp (along with all the other Usenet FAQ lists) at rtfm.mit.edu (18.70.0.209), in file pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/C++-faq/libraries/part1 through part6). It is also available on the Web, at "http://www.trmphrst.demon.co.uk/cpplibs" and "http://purl.oclc.org/NET/C++Libraries".

Rtfm.mit.edu also has a mail server - send a mail message containing "usenet-by-group/comp.answers/C++-faq/libraries/*" to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu. If you want to find out more about the mail server, send a message to it containing "help".

Marshall Cline's C++ FAQ should also be available from rtfm - the files are called _posting_#1_4, _posting_#2_4, _posting_#3_4 and _posting_#4_4, and they are in directory pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/.

I have not included a credits list, because it would be nearly as large as the rest of the file! Many thanks to all those who contributed, and I hope you won't be offended that I haven't mentioned you.

Please mail comments, criticisms, additions and amendments to me at cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk. However, please DO NOT mail me with requests for assistance in finding files mentioned in the list. I am unable to provide such a service. Definite information such as "file xyz is no longer at site xxx" IS welcome - even better if you can tell me an alternative site where it can be found. If you are new to the Internet, try to find out about tools such as archie, whois, www, gopher etc. I recommend the newsgroups "news.announce.newusers" and "news.answers" for starters.

Adding or amending entries

If your library isn't mentioned, or you wish to update your entry in this list, feel free to mail me the new entry, or submit it via the Web form. Please note that entries will be restricted to a couple of paragraphs - if you send me a 100k text file giving minute details, I will have to summarise it. Or I might just ignore it, if I'm busy. It is much easier for me if you just send me an entry which is the right size to start with.

Please try to format your entry in the same way as the entries already in this list. Suggested points to include in your entry are ...

If you wish, you may include HTML tags in your text, which will make it through to the WWW version of this document. Please do not use heading levels 1-3, and please do not include any hot links in the body of the text - all links should occur at the end of the text.

Please add references at the end of your text in the form <tag>:<item> [;<link text>]

Examples: Please mail comments, criticisms, additions and amendments to me at cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk.

NOTE TO VENDORS

This FAQ contains details of both free and commercial libraries. Vendors who have sent me details of their libraries for inclusion in the FAQ have been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest generated. Please remember, I only allow 2 or 3 paragraphs describing the product, and no advertising hype !

Indexes

The database software automatically creates an index of items by name and category which is accessable from the WWW.

There is also a Java program which searches a compact (12kB) index of the FAQ. The source for the Java program is available on request.
