- The OOCTG, now ANSI X3J4.1, is working on their first "real" paper. They
- are
- writing a technical report that will be available some time later this
- year.
- There is no standard and will not be for several years. Some vendors
- claim
- they have oo stuff, but nothing available now conforms to OOCTG's ideas
- because the ideas are not yet concrete enough. Also, most of us involved
- in this work hope that nothing comes out until there is a final
- specification.
