The rumour went around Georgia Tech that the newest GNU g++ handled
multiple inheritance.    Where did that rumour come from?

I got "g++-1.34.1.tar.Z" from "prep.ai.mit.edu".   I use a sun3.

Is there even a schetchy list of what is supposed to work in this
distribution?  Am I overlooking some documentation file?
g++.texinfo documents many things well, but seems out of date.
For instance, people on the net are discussing special return variables,
which are not in g++.texinfo.  How did they find out about these?
Multiple inheritance isn't mentioned either.

What I can intuit from testing and looking at the sources,
multiple inheritance works only in the following special case:
	-- nothing is virtual.
	-- variables of superclasses are not accessed directly.
			(i.e., you use member functions only to
				access your supers).
Is this right?  Supposed to work?       TIA,
