'''C++''' began as a pre-processor for [[C]], and eventually evolved into a programming language in its own right, adding object-oriented classes to a basic syntax still derived from C. It has achieved a great deal of popularity, and has been standardized as ISO/IEC 14882.

The name refers to the "increment" operator ++ applied to C, and is not the grade the language's creator received for it as a student project!

[[C Sharp|C#]] and [[Objective-C]] are other descendants of C which take different approaches to adding object-oriented classes.

'''3DS''' is the original (legacy) file format for Kinetix' 3D Studio and 3D Studio MAX product line (now part of AutoDesk). It contains the 3D model data for the complete scene.

'''UltraCompressor II''' is a 1990s-era compression and archiving program for the PC platform (DOS, Windows, OS/2, DesqView) which claimed to be both faster and more compact than other compression systems. It had special support for OS/2 extended attributes. It was a commercial program released as a "try-before-you-buy" download.
