Purpose and Summary
-------------------
 The Pattern Template Library (PETAL) is a template library implementing common 
design patterns. The library is based on the generic programming methodology 
adopted by STL.

 The impetus to its design is a need to be able to standardize the
representation of patterns, and a desire to implement them quickly, with ease. 
It helps the practitioner of object design analyze, express and most 
importantly, grasp it better.  The simplicity of its implementation should 
appeal to the novice, and encourage the person to use design patterns 
effectively.

  I have been using it extensively in development, and find it as productive a 
tool as STL itself. It is my intent to make it available to others, so people 
can use it and improve it, and make available a common reference & source for 
implementation common design patterns in C++.

Download earlier version
------------------------
  A prior version of this library is available at
http://www.digitallattice.com/page9.html. I must apologise that this 
versiondoes not operate well on linux, primarily because of some idiosyncracies 
of SGI STL and standard STL. This will be resolved in a few weeks, as I am 
testing on different implementations. The URL is provided purely for reference.
