Pay attention!  The "Ellemtel convention" is outdated because the
modern revision appears in the book "Industrial Strength C++" 
by Henricson & Nyquist, formerly of Ellemtel.  Their book is 
recommended in Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language (Third
Edition)".  Make sure every C++ programmer in your organization
has both in easy reach at all times.
