C++ is presently going through balloting of the Committee Draft #2 and last
month finished the public comment period on the draft.  The various comments
(public and ballot) will need to be addressed.  Then the Draft International
Standard will be submitted for balloting (presently anticipated January 1998).
The publication of the ISO standard is not expected until around August 1998,
about 3 1/2 years after the Ada 95 standard, so Dave was overly optimistic
for C++ by about a year.
