Well, I've starting using C++ at work and it seems like an
improved way to create programs (although I'd actually rather use
a good, fast Smalltalk implementation. But I digress....).

On my Amiga 2000 at home I'd like to do the same thing, but I
have the Manx 5.0 compiler (works fine, but no C++).

Some questions:
(1) Is Manx bringing out C++ in the NEAR future?
(2) Is there some PD or commercial add-on that would graft it onto Manx?

Questions specific to Lattice C++ (the only C++ available?):
(1) Is it working well, or while you debug are there more crashes?
(2) Is it a faithful version of the recent AT&T version 2.0?
(3) Are there PD (or commercial) classes for Intuition? The Exec?
(4) Is the debugger well behaved for C++ (demangling names?).

I can't tell if these questions will generate alot of net traffic or not,
so I'll be conservative; send me e-mail if you have answers, and I'll post
a summary in a week or so.

Thanks!
