Having just learned the fundamentals of C (using Kochan's first edition) and
really liking it, I am hot to scarf on C++.  Especially now that I am really
warming up to the concepts I am picking up from going through Smalltalk-80.
So I am looking for recommendations from the.venerable.net for a C++ primer.

Please, something a lowly undergraduate can understand; I like theory, but a
lot of the stuff I find in professional journals just whizzes on past above my
head---I still have three semesters yet before I get a class that will cover
Markov chains, so have a little mercy.  From what little I could pick up from
these journals, I would really prefer stuff that covers Release 2.0.

I just recently started subscribing to this newsgroup, and the news archives
don't show any discussion relating to this, but I just know that this must
have been covered before, so could someone please e-mail me the summary?
Many thanks in advance, c++.ppl.
