The best and complete source of information on C++ is the book
"The C++ Programming Language", by Bjarne Stroutrup (the designer
of C++ and implementor of the translator), published by Addison-Wesley,
copyright 1986, ISBN 0-201-12078. 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. As mentioned in the previous article,
contact the AT&T Sales and Marketing types at 1-800-828-UNIX.
