A press release was posted to comp.sys.mac.programmer (article 
<2253@husc6.harvard.edu>).  
The press release does not mention C++ or MacApp, however.  (It does 
mention that they provide their own object library with the compiler.  My 
guess would be that they have only implemented the subset of C++ that 
implements objects.)
