AT&T’s Unix System Laboratories Inc has set up the C++ Reseller Alliance, to promote products based on the C++ programming language and libraries and to share information on the use of C++ in large software development projects. In fact C++ is such a popular language choice for those getting into object-oriented techniques that you would think such a fan club unnecessary. However, just in case Smalltalk, Eiffel et al surge into significance the C++ Alliance includes the marketing muscle of AT&T Computer Systems, Apple Computer Inc, NCR Corp, Santa Cruz Op-eration Inc, Sequent Computer and Sun Microsystems among others.
