- I'd be interested in people's opinions, too. I have "Algorithms in C" (and like
- it, so there, nyaah!), but when I looked at the C++ version, it looked like ol'
- Bob just used C++ in the sense that it's mostly a superset of C. I didn't see
- any use of classes. It's sort of like re-releasing "Algorithms" under the name
- "Algorithms in MPW Object Pascal", and not changing any of the contents.
