>>Has anyone seen an implementation of C++ for the Atari ST yet??  

The last I looked, quite a while ago, the major obstacle to porting cfront
to the Atari was the lack of compilers that handled decent-length names.  At
the time, the limit was somewhere around seven characters, if I recall
correctly, for all the available C compilers.  Has this situation improved?
(cfront requires at least 32-character names and preferably substantially
longer ones.)
