A collection of C++ classes and functions to simplify using advanced data
structures. Classes include String, String40, String120,
ByteVector, BitVector, IntVector, LongVector, CSVector (and the ability to
create your own vectors), File, TextFile, RecFile, TokenFile, BtrieveFile,
DBase, Time, Date, JulianDate, Moment, BitSet8, BitSet16, BitSet32 (make
your own BitSet types), LinkedList, Stack, Queue, and more! Free!

Files you'll find in this zip file

*.DOC documention (see below)
*.H header files
W*.C the stuff you need to link in with
FATAL.C link in with this if you are not using WW
EXAMPLE?.C Some examples to help get you started
WLIB.PRJ the project file I use to build WLIB

Make sure your compiler is the 3.1 compiler and is set for "C++ Always"
and "Borland C++" (not ANSI, K&R or UNIX C).

Note that there is no documentation for the vector classes or the file
classes. It should be a fairly straightforward task to interpret the
appropriate header files.

If you do not have the Btrieve developers kit or Codebase 4.5, you will
want to exclude WBTRIEVE.C and WDBASE.C from your project.

The documentation was, for the most part, written before the library was.
You would be miles ahead if you learned to read and interpret the header
files rather than relying on the documentation. The documentation is
included more for tutorial purposes than as a reference. There is a
programming pearl that goes "debug only code - comments lie": there may be
some wisdom here that applies to my documentation :-).

All of my source has a copyright on it, yet these libraries are really
closer to "public domain". I want people to feel free to pass it along,
include it in libraries that they use and sell with the idea that everyone
will have a common base for string, file, vector and linked list libraries.
I just don't want them modified without my consent (if you need something
different, why don't you inherit what you see?). I encourage that this
product be included with compilers, libraries, books and tutorials. Free.
Unmodified.

These libraries are designed for optimal use in the cold, cruel world of
practical programming. It is my belief that the molding of C++ into a
SmallTalk environment kills the beauty of C++. I write object oriented
extensions to C++ that compiles very tight and fast while maintaining high
portability. If you want a SmallTalk-like environment, use SmallTalk! I
hope that this code allows all C++ programmers to develop smaller and
faster programs in less time.

If you are new to programming in C++, the file STRINGS.DOC is for you.

Look for WPARSE.ZIP - Source Parser. This will break up your large .OBJ
files so that your executable programs are much smaller and faster.

Look for WW.ZIP - Wheaton Windows. A clean user interface for text mode.
Very powerful. Handles two video devices. Includes about a dozen types of
menus including menus for users to shift the order of their selections or
to make selections. There are numeric editing functions that can give
integers a fixed decimal place. There are string editing functions that
allow you to specify what keys are acceptable for different parts of a
mask. Scroll bar types allow for scrolling through huge, sophisticated
menus or through text files or reports. More! Fully integrated with WLIB.
