Comp.Object FAQ Version 1.0.7 (10-27) Announcement

[Bob Hathaway]

[The comp.object FAQ is now available on:
   zaphod.uchicago.edu:/pub/CompObj7.faq(.Z)
 This announcement, along with the FAQ, will again be posted to comp.object,
 comp.answers, and news.answers in the next few days.  It will also then
 appear on rtfm@mit.edu.]

Archive-name: object-faq/announce
Last-Modified: 10/27/94
Version: 1.0.7

This announces the October version 1.0.7 of the Comp.Object FAQ!  It has
many updates and corrections and has several very up-to-date appendices
on object-oriented methodologies and systems.  While a new section on
miscellaneous commercial systems and libraries is still in the works for
completeness, this document may very well comprise the latest and most
up-to-date collection of object-oriented systems and terms in the world
today!  There is also a potential upcoming merge with the new C++
Libraries FAQ.

I will try to update the FAQ monthly with system entries and information from
the net.  I have a new TQM system in place which should proceed from the
old Level 1 to Level 5 in no time - not hard for a one man job.  *Many*
thanks to the patience of those sending system updates and corrections,
my new system should provide fast acknowledgement, inclusion (within a few
weeks) and tracking, and 6 sigma quality should provide essentially defect
free performance for the FAQ.

Sending comments, suggestions, additions, updates, corrections, and new
systems and site entries is strongly encouraged and should be directed to
the author at rjh@geodesic.com.

The FAQ is posted to the comp.object, comp.answers and news.answers newsgroups
and is available via anonymous ftp from zaphod.uchicago.edu and rtfm.mit.edu,
although new versions may take a short period of time to be installed.

Anonymous FTP Sites and Hypertext Server:
  anonymous@zaphod.uchicago.edu:/pub/CompObj7.faq(.Z)     (128.135.72.61)
  anonymous@rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.object/*_Part_* (18.181.0.24 Tmp)
  http://iamwww.unibe.ch/~scg/OOinfo/FAQ/index.html       (new IAM location)

Mail Server:  (See also section 1.24)
  mail mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
  Subject:
  send usenet/comp.object/*

Zaphod is preferred over rtfm for anonymous ftp retrieval, as it provides a
single file.  Rtfm contains the FAQ as posted.

To use the hypertext system, see APPENDIX E, entries 27.

Again, a short period of time may be required to retrieve the latest version
from anonymous ftp, allowing the posted version to propagate and get out as
quickly as possible.

Thank you to the many people who have contributed their time and effort to
help this document spread the word about object-oriented technology and
available systems!  It is hoped it will be most useful in that endeavor.

Best Regards!
