%X This paper reports on a CSP library for C++, developed over
   the past yearat the University of Kent. It is based on the
   OO\-design and API of JCSP and thelightweight algorithms of
   KRoC occam, with extensions to exploit specific C++
   capabilities(such as templates). Both user\-level and
   operating system threads are usedto provide a range of
   implementation options and semantics (e.g. for managing
   blockingsystem calls intelligently) that run efficiently
   under eitherWindows or Linux. Thelibrary is presented from
   the user’s point of view, mainly by way of a tutorial.
   Implementationdetails are also outlined and some benchmark
   results given. The performanceof C++CSP is between that of
   KRoC occam and JCSP — fairly close toKRoC.
