is a reworking and enhancement of Texas Instrument's "C++
Object Oriented Library" (at csc.ti.com in ftp/pub/COOL.tar.Z) by some
programmers at General Electric.
Also available is JCOOL. Its main difference from COOL and GECOOL is that
it uses real C++ templates instead of a similar syntax that is
preprocessed by a special 'cpp' distributed with COOL and GECOOL.
