Introduction

The OOTL is a public domain general-purpose C++ library developed by Christopher Diggins, author of numerous article for the C/C++ Users Journal and Doctor Dobbs Journal, as well as the co-author of the C++ Cookbook from O'Reilly.

The OOTL only supports the Visual C++ compilers version 7.1 and later. The Visual C++ 7.1 compiler is freely available on the web.

OOTL Subprojects

The OOTL consists of the source code for several other projects by Christopher Diggins including:

• the Unimperative programming language
• the Heron programming language

About the OOTL

The OOTL is a bit of a grab-bag of advanced C++ code. Unlike many other C++ libraries it emphasizes readability and simplicity. Furthermore it carries absolutely no copyright restrictions. You can use or modify it for any purpose, and relicense your code as you desire.

Mailing List

Keep abreast of developments by joining the OOTL mailing lists / discussion forum at Google Groups.

Documentation

License

Most of the OOTL is distributed as public domain code. This means no permission is needed to change, use, modify, sell or do anything else with the OOTL. Any files not public domain, are clearly marked so.

Getting Involved

There are many ways to get involved with the OOTL. The OOTL is currently a one man show, but I appreciate help where I can get it.

• fix what is broken and share it with me, and/or redistribute them to the community.
• release your own improved version of this library
• join the mailing list
• be creative! If you have any other ideas, and want my help to execute them, just ask.
