I don't agree.  I've attended the last couple of Cray C Advisory Board
meetings and the C group wants to know how much interest there is in 
C++.  If enough people want it then it will become a product.

C++ is just a preprocessor.  In fact it probably runs best on a Unix
System V machine just like Unicos.  Call up your local AT&T salescritter
and ask them for a source tape.  (Didn't AT&T just announce a the new
release with multiple inheritance?  I wouldn't be surprised if this already
compiles and runs on the Cray.)

So here's the offer.  If you want C++ on the Cray send me a note and I'll
forward them all to the head of the C compiler group at Cray.  (I don't
like publishing other people's addresses.) 

Cray, its just another generic Unix box.....but boy do I love those Flops.
