Here is the latest draft of a list of available C++ libraries I am compiling. I intend to post this once a month or so (unless there are any complaints). Sorry about the long gap since the last posting.
It is also submited to news.answers, and is available for public ftp (along with all the other Usenet FAQ lists) at rtfm.mit.edu (18.70.0.209), in pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c++/C++_FAQ/libraries.
Rtfm.mit.edu also has a mail server - send a mail message containing "usenet-by-group/comp.answers/C++-faq/libraries" to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu. If you want to find out more about the mail server, send a message to it containing "help".
I have not included a credits list, because it would be nearly as large as the rest of the file! Many thanks to all those who contributed, and I hope you won't be offended that I haven't mentioned you.
Entries are in the order I received them, i.e. totally random. Some future version might have the entries in alphabetical order, but don't hold your breath :-)
If your library isn't mentioned, or you wish to update your entry in this list, feel free to mail me the new entry. Please note that entries will be restricted to a couple of paragraphs - if you send me a 100k text file giving minute details, I will have to summarise it. It is much easier for me if you just send me an entry which is the right size to start with.
Suggested points to include in your entry are ...
Please mail comments, criticisms, additions and amendments to me at cpplibs@trmphrst.demon.co.uk. However, please DO NOT mail me with requests for assistance in finding files mentioned in the list. I am unable to provide such a service. Definite information such as "file xyz is no longer at site xxx" IS welcome - even better if you can tell me an alternative site where it can be found. If you are new to the Internet, try to find out about tools such as archie, whois, www, gopher etc. I recommend the newsgroups "news.announce.newusers" and "news.answers" for starters.
This FAQ contains details of both free and commercial libraries. Vendors who have sent me details of their libraries for inclusion in the FAQ have been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest generated. Please remember, I only allow 2 or 3 paragraphs describing the product, and no advertising hype !
