What's new in SNIPPETS Jul 97 edition?
======================================


General stuff:
--------------

This is, for the most part, a maintenance release to correct some bugs which
crept into the November, '96 release. Two new major initiatives have been
added to SNIPPETS, however. Read all about them in the new LIBRARYS.NFO and
STUDENTS.NFO files!

The process of adding more C++ code continues. Although high-quality free C++
code is still scarce, I collect the best of these and include them in
SNIPPETS.


New stuff:
----------

You'll notice a lot of new pieces in the math function section, including
additionl BCD math functions, and new packages for statistic, trig, parity
calculation, and logarithmic scaling. A new entry in the pi computation to
ridiculous extremes has also been added, with more to come! Finally, an
improved drop-in function for converting to roman numerals has replaced the
old stand-alone program. A complementary function has been added to convert
from roman numerals to long integers, should anyone need such a thing.

Continuing the expanded emphasis on SNIPPETS as an educational resource, Auke
Reitsma has contributed a demo program for his excellent linked-list package.
I also added a .MAN file to explain the usage of my getopts_lite() function.
From Peter Yard comes a full-featured double-ended queue package.



You'll find many more changes and additions along with bug fixes and general
clean-up.
