                     30:      This section describes the major GNU changes since the previous  release of libg++ \
                     31: in NeXTSTEP 3.2. \
                     32: \
                     33:  *  The iostream directory is gone.  It has been replaced by ../libio.\
                     34:   One major change is that libiostream.ac(which is built in ../libio) can be used \
                     35: indendently of libg++ as in the example illustrated below.  However libg++.a also links with  libiostream.a internally  and therefore, when linking with libg++.a, libiostream.a need not be explicitly specified on the command line. \

                     62: * A few of pseudo-template classes (SLList/DLList) have been \
                     63: converted to use real templates.    These files can be used as follows:\

                     93: Hence genclass is still necessary for specific class creation.

                    105: \f0 has been added to every libg++ header that is      exported so as to specify C++ linkage. This is due to the new feature in the compiler which     enables implicit extern "C" linkage for all system headers unless the above pragma is   specified in which case, the C++ linkage is enabled.\
