Aus dem comp.lang.c++ FAQ:

Q97: What is the NIHCL?  Where can I get it?
A: NIHCL stands for `national-institute-of-health's-class-library'.
it can be acquired via anonymous ftp from [128.231.128.251]
in the file pub/nihcl-3.0.tar.Z

NIHCL (some people pronounce it `N-I-H-C-L', others pronounce it like `nickel')
is a C++ translation of the Smalltalk class library.  There are some ways where
NIHCL's use of weak typing helps (ex: persistent objects).  There are also
places where the weak typing it introduces create tension with the underlying
statically typed language.

A draft version of the 250pp reference manual is included with version 3.10
(gnu emacs TeX-info format).  It is not available via uucp, or via regular mail
on tape, disk, paper, etc (at least not from Keith Gorlen).

Gruss,
        Jan
