  abstract =     "The Educational Testing Service has decided that the
                 Advanced Placement Examination in Computer Science will
                 use the C++ programming language in place of Pascal.
                 They have designed a subset of the language to be used
                 in high school courses. This paper claims that the
                 subset is deficient in two areas: (a) the subset is
                 vague on which language features it contains, and (b)
                 the proposed class library diverges significantly from
                 the draft Standard Library. These problems stem from an
                 attempt to come to terms with non-complying
                 implementations. We believe that the AP C++ subset
                 should be defined on educational criteria alone;
                 software and textbook authors and publishers would then
                 adapt their course material to the language subset.",
