+++Date last modified: 05-Jul-1997What's new in SNIPPETS Jul 97 edition?======================================General stuff:--------------This is, for the most part, a maintenance release to correct some bugs whichcrept into the November, '96 release. Two new major initiatives have beenadded to SNIPPETS, however. Read all about them in the new LIBRARYS.NFO andSTUDENTS.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 inSNIPPETS.New stuff:----------You'll notice a lot of new pieces in the math function section, includingadditionl BCD math functions, and new packages for statistic, trig, paritycalculation, and logarithmic scaling. A new entry in the pi computation toridiculous extremes has also been added, with more to come! Finally, animproved drop-in function for converting to roman numerals has replaced theold stand-alone program. A complementary function has been added to convertfrom roman numerals to long integers, should anyone need such a thing.Continuing the expanded emphasis on SNIPPETS as an educational resource, AukeReitsma 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 generalclean-up.-------------------------------  Enjoy!  -----------------------------------Bob StoutFidoNet:    1:106/2000.6            C_Echo moderator (1990-1991, 1996-1997)Internet:   rbs@snippets.org            rbs@brokersys.comSnailMail:  MicroFirm            P.O.
