Subject: Re: [TUHS] I just noticed all the cfont aka C++ in research
I suppose that it would make sense that all of AT&T's leading edge
projects would use research Unix. I've always heard of the original C++
to C translator but this is the first time I've actually seen it.
In case you're interested, Bjarne Stroustrup has been helping me collect
early versions of cfront here:
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/#cfront
Previously we had located a listing of Release E (which we scanned),
source for Release 1.0 of 10/10/85, and source for Release 3.0.3. From
these 9th and 10th edition snapshots, cfront 1.2.2 6/10/87, AT&T C++
Translator 2.00 06/30/89, AT&T C++ Translator 2.1.0+ 04/01/90, and AT&T
C++ Translator 2.1++ 08/24/90 join the list.
