   The article is excerpted from the "Unix Hater's Handbook," published
   at MIT.  It is exceptionally uncomplimentary of C++.  In fact, the
   tone is reminiscent of that found in some early anti-Ada tracts. 

   The message seems to be, "If you love clarity, you'll hate C++."

   Advanced Systems can be reached at (415) 243-4188, if you have a
   compelling need to satisfy your longing for techno-diatribe.
