	I need some help from the people who read net.lang.c++.
	Actually, I'm on a roll. My last message was a request
	for information about C++ availability. Now that I have
	that, I have another question to ask of you all.

	I would like to know why the people in this group
	have decided to design their applications in C++.
	I don't need an explanation of why Object-Oriented
	programming is better; I wrote a thesis on that. I
	would like to know why C++ is better for your purposes
	than C. Have you found any drawbacks in C++? Do
	you regret going to C++? Do you swear by it?
	Can you do things in C++ that C would not allow? Have
	your development times/costs dropped substantially?
	Does it take more time or less time to bring new
	developers up to speed? Have your maintenance times/costs
	dropped substantially? Do you have any problems with
	portability (many systems whose compiler don't have flexnames)?
	Do you find that the lack of support from AT&T is
	a drawback? Are there known bugs in the C++ compiler?

	If you can answer these question, I would be most grateful.
	Please send answers to me via e-mail and, as usual, I
	will be more than happy to summarize for the net.


						Thanx in Advance,
