Version 1.0 of the Open Object Library (OOL) has been released.


What is the OPEN OBJECT LIBRARY?

The Open Object Library (OOL) is a C++ class library for Warp 3
or higher. It contains classes for 
- control-windows, menus, dialogs and other types of windows 
- files, (named) pipes, DDE, sockets 
- graphic primitives and printer-support 
- semaphores and other useful things like interfaces to
  Java (TM), REXX and DIVE. 

The OOL works with following compilers: 
- IBM Visual Age C++ 3.0 
- EMX/GCC 0.9b or higher 
- Watcom C/C++ 10.0 (Currently we have some problems
  with Watcom 10.x so the librarys and DLLs for this
  compiler are not distributed, the makefiles for the 
  compiler are part of the package so you are able to
  build these files yourself; IBM nmake is needed to
  build the OOL for Watcom C/C++). 

The OOL is copyrighted freeware. 



Files of the OOL

The OOL is shipped in three packages:

OOL_MAIN.ZIP
 source, header-files, samples, course, documentation in
INF-format, ~1.1 MB

OOL_EMX.ZIP
 DLLs and import librarys for EMX 0.9b (or higher), ~570 KB

OOL_IBM.ZIP
 DLLs and import librarys for Visual Age C++, ~470 KB

Have a look at http://www.gwdg.de/~sbrauk/OOL_READ.HTML in order
to download the OOL. I also uploaded the archives to
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming;
they should appear in
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/cplusplus soon.
