It sounds like what you want is GCC.  With luck, G++ will already
have been ported; if not, you can do that.  In any case, GCC does
run on the HP9000/300 series and is ANSII compatible.  (I assume
the port was for the standard OS on that system, but that shouldn't
be too much of a problem.)

GCC is the Gnu C Compiler; G++ is the C++ front-end for same.  Both
are distributed by the Free Software Foundation (Cambridge, MA) and
should be ftp-able from prep.ai.mit.edu and other places.  (They'll
also ship you a tape, for a couple hundred dollars or so.)  Try the
newsgroup gnu.g++ for more info.

(If you want to market the resulting compiler, then this isn't the
thing for you; but you can market the object code it produces,
provided you use your own libraries.)
