I hate to bring this up again, but does anyone have any idea as to whether
Symantec is planning actually making a THINK C that is C++ compatible?

I'm working on a project right now to do operations on matricies, and it
sure would be nice to have a full C++ implementation (nope, I can't afford
MPW C++) to create my matrix class, and define the operations that can
be performed on a matrix.

The THINK C TCL is pretty nifty for fast & neat programming of typical
user-friendly applications in the Mac environment, but when it comes
right down to doing a down & dirty, highly specialized application in
which it would be nice to design some highly specialized classes,
THINK C just doesn't fit the bill.

I'm actually considering doing this program on our Suns at the university,
simply because this project fits would be an ideal C++ implementation, and
THINK C OOP falls far short.

So how 'bout it?  Anyone got an angle on whether THINK C++ is in the
planning stages (at least)?

Or even better, does anyone have any suggestions which might make this
project of mine less painful to do in THINK C OOP?
