You're in luck--an excellent native code C++ (<2.0) compiler is available
from Zortech.  The code speed and size efficiency are legendary, and the
product is comparable to Microsoft's Quick C or Borland's Turbo C in 
completeness and out-of-the-box usability.  I have a copy in front of me
that I haven't had time to even install (more's the pity).  Hopefully
your mail will generate more Zortech testimonials from people who've
actually used the product, because the author, Walter Bright, is a 
regular in this newsgroup.
