While waiting for the book, you can consult an article that Bjarne wrote for the AT&T Bell Labs Technical Journal, "Data Abstraction In C", which appears in the October 1984 issue (the special Unix* System issue). I've been using C++ for a few months now and, quite frankly, I will never go back to using "old C". It is highly portable (I've brought it up on System V VAX 11/780*, AT&T 3B20 and 3B2, and Amdahl 5860 running their UTS, and I know it has been successfully ported to a VAX running 4.2BSD and Apollo workstations running AUX [System III?]). It is available for $250 for educational institutions, $2000 for commercial (first cpu, $1000 additional cpus)...and we're talking source code, not just object.
