I found all the old cpp stuff I had and put it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/egut/files/oldCppStuff.tar.gz/download
It's less than I thought. Either I've lost some files or just didn't remember correctly the stage the project was at when my former student convinced me we ought to switch over to Java. A couple of notes are in order: (1) when I started on this I did not foresee ever wanting to do anything other than the five split simply connected exceptional groups, and, somewhat regrettably, proceeded accordingly. (2) when I started I didn't think of this as a way to work symbolically with general elements, only with unipotent elements. There might still be some bits worth using.
