Hello, World.
I have the Lifeboat Associates==Glockenspeil==Advantage C++ product for
MS-DOS.  It is a beta release from late 1987.  A letter that came
with the product says that the production version will be forthcoming
"real soon now."  

Now I find that Lifeboat Associates (suppliers of the Lattice C compiler)
has discontinued their "sponsorship" of the product.  I understand that
Glockenspeil (in Ireland) continues support of the product.

QUESTION:  Does anyone know what happened?  Does anyone know the status
and future prospects of this Glockenspiel/Advantage C++ product?

I am considering changing to another MS-DOS C++ pre-processor/translator
package.  

QUESTION:  Does anyone have advice about changing to either Zortech C++
or Guidelines C++?  Are there any other DOS based C++ pre-proc/trans/compilers?

Thank you for input.
