You bought the AT&T standard C++ librarys, namely the c-streams, complex and
some other (tasking I think) stuff, that is not included with the BETA C++
(but will be in the final release) compiler. IBM choose this approach (ordering
these lib's seperately), since they would have to pay royalties with every
BETA CD they delivered. Obviously they would have to raise the price of the
CD or give us all a x-mas present worth $25 :-)

IBM said, you will get $25 off the final price of the C++ compiler, if you
bought the AT&T stuff now to use with the BETA.

Any more questions??
