When was SKILL++ first released?

I know it was after June, 1993.

I know it was before SKILL 04.30 (IC441), which was 1997.

    Once you understand the Lisp capabilities SKILL, it is so much more fun to work with than many other languages.

    Hear hear!  ^o^

    There was a major upgrade in SKILL++ around the IC615 timeframe including multiple inheritance, multiple method dispatch and other capabilities that brought it more in line with CLOS.

    Thanks!  I've added that info to the timeline.

    I feel that the updates made SKILL++ much more usable and powerful as well as much easier to write very convoluted code. The class and method browser in the SKILL IDE is absolutely necessary.

    I didn't even know it had a class and method browser!  I'll have to try that out....
