C+@

C+@

(language)(Formerly "Calico"). An object-oriented languagefrom Bell Laboratories which uniformly represents all dataas pointers to self-described objects. C+@ provides multiple inheritance with delegation and with control over whichmethods come from which delegated object; and default methodologies. It has a simple syntax with emphasis ongraphics. It was originally used for prototyping oftelecommunication services.

The language is patented by AT&T and Unir Tech has theexclusive license from Bell Labs to distribute C+@.Unfortunately Unir is owned and operated by well-knownanti-IETF ranter, Jim Fleming, which may have had somethingto do with the language's rapid disappearence from the radarscreen.

It runs under SunOS and compiles to Vcode.
