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. New noteworthy additions are the OO methodologies and OOA/OOD sections and ever expanding appendices. Future FAQs will contain a diff file. The FAQ is updated and posted monthly. Comments, suggestions, additions, updates, and new systems and site entries should be sent to 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/comp.object-faq.1.0.5(.Z) (128.135.72.61) anonymous@rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.object/*_Part_* http://cui_www.unige.ch/OSG/FAQ/OO-FAQ/index.html 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, 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 into helping 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! bob
