*** new note on September 5, 1998


The directory 'ap' has all the programs/classes in the book
but apstring/apvector/apmatrix are used instead of the 
classes cpstring/string Vector/Matrix as shown in the book.

This will facilitate using the book in AP courses (AP is
Advanced Placement) and as I migrate towards using apstring/apvector
etc for the second edition.

The ap code should work on 'any' system, e.g., with Turbo/Borland
Visual/Codewarrior

You can get all the classes/code as ap.zip

let me know if there are any problems

A Computer Science Tapestry
Exploring Programming and Computer Science using C++

by Owen Astrachan, McGraw-Hill 1997

The code for the final version of the book, published in December of
1996, is in the directory final.  A gzipped tar file is stored as
unix.tar.gz, the directory 'unix' stores the files individually.  These
files have been tested with g++ under Unix/Solaris/Linux.

Files that work with Windows machines, either Borland 4.5 or
Visual C++ 4.0 are in the windows subdirectories.  See the
README file in the windows subdirectory.  Both Borland 4.5
and Visual C++ 4.0 do NOT support the built-in type bool,
so the header file bool.h is included.  Also, in both
of those environments the standard string class conflicts
with the class string defined in CPstring.h.  To avoid this,
I renamed the string class defined in CPstring.h from string
to cpstring.  There are a few other caveats too, see the README
files.  I've tested the code in the borland directory using
Symantec and Metrowerks on Macs, but I didn't test every single
file.  Nevertheless, I believe that renaming the string class
and using bool.h is key in those environments, so that
the borland files will work.

Summary

           Unix/Linux g++   Windows/Borland  Windows/Visual C++    Mac
           --------------------------------------------------------------
directory     unix           windows/borland   windows/visual     mac

one file      unix.tar.gz    borland.zip       vcpp.zip

To ftp a .gz/zip file, switch to binary mode and get the file.  You'll need
unzip and untar (or tar xzf) to extract files from a tar file, unzip
alone to unzip the .zip file in Windows.

ftp> binary
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get unix.tar.Z

then use gunzip and tar, or combine:

tar xzvf unix.tar.gz

(if tar doesn't work, try gtar)

on Windows/Dos

unzip borland.zip 

------

Alternatively, cd into the unix directory, turn off prompting, and use
mget to get all the files (see below)

ftp> cd unix
250 CWD command successful
ftp> prompt
Interactive mode off.
ftp> mget *


Please let me know of any problems
