This is a somewhat naive question; I apologize if policy prevents a reply.

Let's say I have a brand X computer running brand X's operating system.
Also assume the presence of a C compiler.  To whom would I go to acquire
a C++ front end?  I am willing to perform the port myself, given modestly
"standard" C code for it.  How much would it cost?  Do companies providing
such source code require a "cut" of any redistribution of the final converted
product, or does my one-time license fee allow me to distribute the object
code at will?

Thanks for any help on this.  We (CDC) have quite a respectable C compiler
for NOS/VE, and one of our customers dearly wants to go to C++.  However,
this question does not represent any official inquiries and should not be
construed as incurring any obligations on the part of Control Data.
