I am breaking here my self-imposed rule of never responding to a post
from Jim Fleming -- it's my rule, I can break it if I want -- because of
the gross falsehood he presents.

For months, I and others begged in this forum and by private email for information
about C+@: what exactly is it, where can we get a language specification,
what implementations exist, how can we get an implementation, and so on.

So far as I have been able to determine, Fleming consistently refused to
provide any of this information. His answers were never more specific than
"it's great, it's wonderful, implementations are around, you could
probably find one."

Fleming did at one point offer to send a floppy disk to anyone who mailed
him $10 US in cash. He never did say what would be on the floppy disk.
Since I can get about 20 floppy disks at my local computer store for $10,
this didn't seem like a very good offer.

So Jim, I'm saying again, "Put up or shut up." It appears that C+@ is no
more than a figment of your very fertile imagination. Prove me wrong, or
stop mentioning it in this forum, which is, after all, supposed to be
about C++.
