Questions: 

I read the press release 10/96 "RogueWave Licenses standard C++ library to DEC".
What is happening with this?  I am developing cross-platfom applications with VMS and UNIX,UNIX
has RW libraries installed. It would be nice to have some compatibilty.
It would be great if DEC inlude all the other RW libraries:math,threads,databses,etc.
Or at least help RW port them to VMS.

Thanks.

   The Wizard could provide you with the answer to this question, but would
   then be forced to immediately cast a spell of forgetfulness...

   If you are interested in acquiring this product under OpenVMS, please
   contact your authorized DIGITAL representative directly, and request
   further information and future plans (if any, of course)...

The library that Digital licensed from RogueWave is the C++ library
in the draft ANSI standard, not tools.h++, math, threads, etc.

We plan to start including portions of the RogueWave library in our
next release (V5.6), and we plan to support the full standard library
in our next major release (V6.0).

I'll pass on your input about the desirability of supporting other
RogueWave libraries on VMS to the DEC C++ product manager.
