August, 1999.

This directory contains an extensive package of on-line supplements for the
book "Data Structures and Program Design in C++" by Robert L. Kruse and
Alexander J. Ryba.  Additional executable demonstration programs are being
developed and will be added as they are finished.

1.  The subdirectory  textcode  contains all C++ code segments appearing in
the book, with one file per chapter.  These code segments may be extracted
and used in the development of programs, but they are not complete and cannot
be compiled by themselves.  Their purpose is to save the user from the need
to hand-copy code extracts from the book.

2.  The subdirectory  transp  contains transparency masters outlining the
book; these are suitable both for lectures and for use by students as a study
guide or outline of the book.  For more information, see the file  readme.txt
in the transp subdirectory.

3.  The subdirectory  demos  contains executable versions of the programs
developed in the book, together with some other related programs.  These are
supplied as zip files, one per chapter, which must be expanded (including the
directory structure) by suitable software before use.  For example, the
command  pkunzip -d exe1.zip  might be used.
    We hope eventually to have these programs available for several computer
platforms.  The first programs are intended for 32-bit PC Windows systems
(Windows 95 or 98); these are in the subdirectory  demos/win32.
    Subdirectory  demos  will also eventually include executable versions of
solutions to the programming projects.  Before these are available, the
similar resources for the C textbook may be of some value.  (Note that the
chapter numbering is different in that book.)  To find these programs, move
up one level in the directory tree from the location of this file and then
change to subdirectory dspdc2.  That is, go to directory
pub/esm/computer_science.s-041/kruse/dspdc2.

4.  The file  errata.txt  (in the current directory) contains two lists of
misprints.  Those in the first list should be corrected in your copy of the
book to avoid confusion.  Those in the second list are so minor that they
are unlikely to cause any difficulty.  If, however, you find any further
misprints not in either list, please let us know by e-mail either to the
response address in the website or to sarah_burrows@prenhall.com.  Thank you.

5.  Further supplements for instructors will eventually be available on
CD-ROM, but not on the website.  For information on what is available
before completion of the CD-ROM, please e-mail sarah_burrows@prenhall.com.
