Abstract

In this note the main features and newer developments of the 
C++ class library for extended scientific computing C-XSC 2.0 
will be discussed.
The original version of the C-XSC library is about ten years 
old. But in the last decade the underlying programming language 
C++ has been developed significantly. Since November 1998 the 
C++ standard is available and more and more compilers support 
(most of) the features of this standard. The new version 
C-XSC 2.0 conforms to this standard. Application programs written 
for older C-XSC versions have to be modified to run with 
C-XSC 2.0. Several examples will help the user to see which 
changes have to be done. Note, that all sample codes given in 
[6] have to be modified to work properly with C-XSC 2.0.
All sample codes listed in this note will be made available 
on the web page http://www.math.uni-wuppertal.de/~xsc/cxsc/examples.
