I am quite new to g++ and have not even installed it yet.  If it matters,
I will be using g++/gdb on a DECstation 3100.  A few questions:

   1) Is it possible to link the object files of the DEC assembler as
      well as X (DECwindows) libraries with g++ object files?  (I'm
      sorry if the recent discussion on g++/gdb and COFF answered this one;
      I just came on board and missed out)
   2) What packages (i.e., BISON, GAS, etc.) are necessary to get g++ and 
      gdb up and running on the 3100s? 
   3) Have the symbol name "mangling" problems been resolved for both data
      as well as functions?  
   3) Any DECstation g++/gdb users have good/bad experiences to share?

We are currently using the AT&T C++ 2.0 cfront which is a real pain to
work with when debugging because of the symbol name "mangling" that occurs.

I know these are probably the *very* candidates for "the most frequently
asked questions" in this newsgroup, so please be kind enough to send me 
the respective "back-issues" that answer my queries.

Please e-mail to me (if possible).  Thanks for your help.
